Electric vehicles are becoming more common as one of many solutions to the increasingly serious problem of global warming. This comes with new safety challenges as batteries can upon malfunction or abuse enter thermal runaway and as a result catch fire or explode. The gases released from thermal runaway has been determined experimentally in published studies and have been shown to contain fluorina

Aerotaxy offers an alternative method for the manufacturing of semiconductor nanowires. Instead of seeding growth on an expensive substrate, aerosol seed particles act as the catalyst for the Vapor–Liquid–Solid growth in a hot flow through reactor. This thesis investigates the possibility of self-seeded GaAs nanowires grown from Ga seed particles replacing the regularly employed Au, hence eliminat

The choice of which potential evapotranspiration (PET) model to use when estimating streamflow using a rainfall-runoff model have been the topic of many studies. The aim with this thesis was to assess the robustness of six different PET models using HBV-light as rainfall-runoff model over three catchments in Sweden. The robustness was evaluated by using a differential split sample test (DSST) base
