Gorczak-Vos, N. (author)
Photoinduced charge transfer in organic materials is a fundamental process in various biological and technological areas. Donor-bridge-acceptor (DBA) molecules are used as model systems in numerous theoretical and experimental work to systematically study and unravel the underlying mechanisms of charge transfer. Despite the respectable successes...

This thesis reports on advanced characterizations of giant magnetocaloric materials that show a first order magnetic phase transition (FOMT). The results are of great interest not only for the design of new magnetic refrigerants, but also for a better understanding of the FOMT. This thesis paves the way for further developments and understanding...

Kuijpers, N.G.A. (author)
In the past few decades, concerns on climate change have contributed to the development of biotechnological alternatives for petrochemical processes. In order to make these processes economically competitive, there has been an intensive search for improved, more efficient production organisms. In the past decade, genetic engineering of...

Quantitative experiments with the ability to systematically probe the system under investigation are a key element to gain insight and understanding. We present a novel and simple technique enabling the maintenance and controlled perturbation of experimental conditions of microorganisms from bacteria to nematodes. Polyacrylamide-based devices...

The Sun is the main source of renewable energy on Earth. Our planet receives about 174 PW of solar power. At the same time, global energy consumption from all energy sources is orders of magnitude lower and is equal to approximately 16 TW. Clearly, solar energy has a tremendous potential, as well as numerous advantages over conventional sources...

Nasalevich, M.A. (author)
The research strategy followed in this work was inspired by natural photosynthesis that, for simplicity, can be divided into three principal steps: (i) efficient light absorption at wavelengths abundant in the solar light; (ii) long-lived charge separation achieved by funnelling of the photogenerated electrons away from the light-absorbing...

Scattering is the process in which some form of radiation is deviated from its trajectory by a localized non-uniformity it encounters. These non-uniformities, called objects, can be of different material and geometry which determines among many things, mainly, the amount and direction of the scattered radiation. Scatterometry is the branch of...

Electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 is one possibility to solve the electrical energy storage problem and decrease the amount of CO2. Copper is the only metal that has been reported to produce hydrocarbons in the electrochemical CO2 reduction at ambient pressure and temperature. External parameters (potential, temperature and electrolyte), copper...

Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) conjugate vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine that can prevent meningitis and pneumonia caused by Hib disease. Hib vaccine is recommended for all children under 5 years. Despite the availability of safe and effective Hib vaccines since early 1987, Gambia was the only low-income country that had introduced...

Majorana fermions are exotic elementary particles predicted in 1937 by Ettore Majorana. Although heavily searched for, they have never been found in nature up to date. In the past decades, with the progress in theory, theoretical physicists predicted that Majorana fermions might emerge in certain exotic classes of condensed matter systems, where...

Van der Meulen, S.A.J. (author)
This thesis revolves around exploiting the specificity of DNA interactions to guide the assembly of micro-colloids into higher order structures. The concept of DNA mediated interactions between micro-colloids is a field of study that has ramified from the field on DNA guided self-assembly of nano-colloids. Despite the great potential that the...

Beukman, A.J.A. (author)
This thesis includes two research directions both aim to discover a building block for topological quantum computing. First, in Chapter 3, a novel setup is designed, built, and tested, that can electrostatically gate a material without endangering the materials pristine quality. The setup was designed with the goal to reveal non-Abelian...

Provision of clean drinking water to poor can prevent a large number of deaths and illnesses amongst children around the world. In 2010, about 0.75 million child deaths were caused due to diarrhea, and a further 22.5 million years of life were lost due to ill-health, disability or early death caused by unimproved water and inadequate sanitation...

Didden, A.P. (author)
Reducing particle size or material structure size to nanometer scale can make the material properties, such as light absorption and electronic structure, change compared to the same materials at normal scale. This gives them properties that can make them suitable for the development of highly efficient and improved micro-electronics, sensor...
