Motile creatures are ubiquitous in the natural world. Spanning a broad range of length
scales, they all have in common the fact that they convert energy from internal or
external resources into motion. In most natural ...
The electroless and electrolytic copper deposition are essential process steps in the production of printed circuit boards. Various studies have already shown that ultrasound can improve these processes. However, ultrasound ...
This thesis investigates the influence of local excitations by ultra-short laser pulses in strongly correlated manganites.
It focuses on the nonlinear transport properties which are connected to the correlations between ...
The challenge of nanometric imaging drives intense efforts in applied sciences and fundamental research. Following the physical law of diffraction, the utilization of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) or X-ray radiation for imaging ...
This thesis consists of three different parts. In the first part it gives the reader an overview of the published results describing near band-edge as well as defect related luminescence in aluminium nitride, also presenting ...
