Lampert, F. (author), Jensen, A.H. (author), Din, Rameez U. (author), Gonzalez Garcia, Y. (author), Møller, Per (author)Spin-on-glass deposition was investigated as viable alternative to increase the durability and performance of 316L steel in chloride environment. The buildup of a detrimental interface oxide was prevented by non-oxidative thermal curing of the coatings, which leads to a transformation to an inorganic, SiO<sub>2</sub>-like material. The degree...journal article 2018

De Jong, M. (author)Photovoltaic devices are a widely available, long lasting means of generating sustainable energy. Unfortunately, the integration of such devices into society is to date still limited. This is in part due to the much less than optimal efficiency of conversion of sunlight to electricity, but also by the physical limitations of integrating...doctoral thesis 2015
