Kruglova, O.V. (author)The dynamics and conductivity of the discotic liquid-crystal, hexakis(n-hexylox) triphenylene (HAT6), and charge-transfer complex that it forms with 2,4,7trinitro-9-fluorenone (TNF) are studied using quasielastic neutron-scattering (QENS) and Pulse-Radiolysis Time resolved Conductivity. These two techniques measure the molecular dynamics and...doctoral thesis 2007

Grzegorczyk, W.J. (author)The photogeneration and mobility of charge carriers in organic thin films, including bulk heterojunctions (BHJs), have been studied with the time resolved microwave photo-conductance technique (TRMC). The TRMC technique allows the electrodeless measurement of the photoconductance with nanosecond time resolution. The research focuses on the way...doctoral thesis 2010

Talgorn, E.C.V. (author)Colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles, also called quantum dots, have unique opto-electronic properties that make them promising candidates for many applications such as solar cells, light–emitting diodes, lasers, or biological imaging. One of the most interesting features is that the bandgap energy can be tuned by changing the particle size....doctoral thesis 2010

Hamer, W.J. (author)Chromate compounds have been widely used to improve the corrosion protection of galvanised steel and aluminium objects in the past decades. The hexavalent chromium in chromate enhances the adherence of coatings to galvanised steel and aluminium. Additionally, if the passive layers on these materials should become damaged, hexavalent chromium...doctoral thesis 2005

Kochetov, R. (author)The research described in this thesis is part of a state-funded IOP-EMVT project in cooperation with industrial companies, aiming at the design, assessment and implementation of new, environmental friendly (e.g. oil and SF6 - free) solid dielectric materials. A large disadvantage of solid polymer dielectrics is their relatively low thermal...doctoral thesis 2012

Wang, Z.P. (author)The recently developed isogeometric analysis (IGA) was aimed, from the start, at integrating computer aided design (CAD) and analysis. This synthesis of geometry and analysis has naturally led to renewed interest in developing structural shape optimization. The advantages of using isogeometric analysis in shape optimization are embodied in its...doctoral thesis 2016

Chan, W.K. (author)The transition to sustainable energy sources is inevitable. A possible future scenario could be the hydrogen economy, where the fuel cell plays an important role in the conversion of hydrogen back to electricity. The technology behind the fuel cell however, still has significant room for improvement. A next step would be the realization of so...doctoral thesis 2011

Lientschnig, G. (author)The exponential downscaling of (sub-) microelectronic devices known as Mooreâs law will continue in all likelihood for the next two decades. Transistors with lengths below 10 nm have already been successfully demonstrated. However, once the length of transistors will have been reduced to only a couple of nanometers, present-day CMOS technology...doctoral thesis 2003

Abdi, Bahareh (author)Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common age-related cardiac arrhythmia. AF is characterized by rapid and irregular electrical activity of the heart leading to a higher risk of stroke and heart failure. During AF, the upper chambers of the heart, called atria, experience chaotic electrical wave propagation. However, despite the various mechanisms...doctoral thesis 2021
