Atomistic studies of nano-structural mechanical behavior and point defects

The content of this thesis consists of two parts. For the first part, size and crystallographic orientational influence on the elastic properties of bcc nanowires and films have been studied through static molecular simulations. In order to explicitly account for surface effects, the concept of surface free energy has been employed. Comparisons between continuum mechanical calculations and results

Transient electromagnetic wave propagation in laterally discontinuous, dispersive media

This paper concerns propagation of transient electromagnetic waves in laterally discontinuous dispersive media. The approach, used here, employs a component decomposition of all fields. Specifically, the propagation operator that maps a transverse field on one plane to another plane is specified. Expansion of this mapping near the wave front determines the precursor or forerunner of the problem.

Studies of Nanowire Devices Enabled by Advanced Nanofabrication

This thesis explores the possibility of using advanced device geometries and heterostructure engineering to manipulate, control, and study the electrical and optical properties of semiconductor nanowires. The first part of the thesis investigates the use of different gate-all-around architectures for creating new types of gate-controlled nanowire devices, primarily intended for fundamental studies

Globalisation, language contact and historical change: a case of Slavic languages and beyond

In recent years, contact-induced language changes have been hotly discussed (e.g. Heine 2003; Heine and Kuteva 2005), and in this paper, a similar line of argument is presented concerning the Slavic languages, and a similar developmental path is applied to minority languages. Based on analogy, future state of minority languages is predicted. Some languages in the Indo-European family are known to

Frimureri i Svenska Pommern (I)

First part of a series of three articles on the history of freemasonry in the Swedish possession Swedish-Pomerania on German soil.
