Aerosol particles have an important role in many scientific and technological issues. Aerosol particle measurements are widely applied for example in clean room technology, in atmospheric measurements and in studying the ...
This work focuses on the properties of model membranes rich in two lipids: cholesterol and cardiolipin. Despite being structurally very different, the biological significance of both of these lipids is partly related to ...
The unique and tailorable properties of metal nanostructures show great prospects for future nanophotonics applications. However, the complicated interaction between the nanostructures and the electromagnetic field has ...
The work presented in this thesis is based on the Feynman path integral formalism for quantum statistics. This brings forth a novel approach to solve quantum many-body systems giving complementary knowledge to more ...
Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS), as a branch of optical spectroscopy, is an established, robust, and sensitive method for trace gas monitoring. The concentration of a specific gas compound, among many other physical ...
The work of this thesis concentrates on applying the Electrical Low Pressure Impactor (ELPI, Dekati Ltd.) and scanning/differential mobility particle sizer (SMPS/DMPS) to estimate the particle density and particle solidity ...
Modulation instability and the existence of localized soliton structures are central phenomena of nonlinear systems governed by the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation such as Bose-Einstein condensates, plasmas and ...
Concerns about oil price, the strengthening climate change and traffic related health effects are all reasons which have promoted the research of renewable fuels. One renewable fuel candidate is diesel consisting of ...
