This thesis experimentally studies the mechanisms associated with the very low lattice thermal conductivities of the ternary van der Waals layered compound (Sb1-xBix)2Te3. This compound presently constitutes one of the ...
Fluctuational electrodynamics (FE) is a successful and well established theory. By making use of the fluctuation dissipation-theorem (FDT), it ties together the linear response (Green's function) and the strength of thermal ...
Information processing and storage applications demand increasing miniaturization
and operation speeds, where optical manipulation of magnetic order may play a
very important role. It is hence essential to study how light ...
Far-field fluorescence microscopy is a versatile tool for the non-invasive investigation of intracellular structures and thus for live cell imaging. This is a major advantage over other microscopy methods such as electron ...
In the last decade Magnesium (Mg) has attracted much interest as a storage material for hydrogen in a future hydrogen energy based economy. The reasons are its high reversible hydrogen capacity of up to 7,6 wt% and its ...
