Under början av nittonhundratalet började det bli känt att det fanns mer till världen än man tidigare trott. Det fanns en helt ny arena med helt nya spelregler: Kvantvärlden. Albert Einstein lade grunderna för den fotoelektriska effekten, varvid ljus används för att jonisera atomer genom en process där en atom absorberar ljus, och därmed energi, för att sedan avge en elektron, en så kallad fotoeleIn this work, we employ a semi-classical approach to light matter interaction to describe and char- acterize spin configurations resulting from quantum correlations between electrons created by a photoemission event and by the following Auger decay. The system studied consists of three atomic levels and two continua. Initially, an external classical light field, in the form of a narrow Gaussian pa

Filling Urban Gaps, is a study on a dense and central area of São Paulo, Brazil which is cut by an elevated highway. Its construction affected the development of the whole area, decreased its value, and affected many people around it. In recent years the debate of transforming the highway in a park, and opening it for pedestrians on weekends boosted the area as a cultural spot. Now the city announ

The white light LEDs of today are usually based on a blue LED and a phosphor, converting the blue light to longer wavelengths. While these phosphor-converted LEDs are extremely efficient compared to incandescent light or fluorescent light, there is still plenty of room for improvement. In the conversion between blue light and light of lower energy approximately 25-45 % of the radiant power is lost

With sustainability at the forefront of many cities’ urban development plans, it is possible that sustainable polices are targeted to attract a certain group of inhabitants. Malmö, Sweden, has implemented changes in order to gain international recognition as a green city but has also been experiencing growing residential segregation.
