Molecular simulation method development and implementation for fuel cell catalyst layers
(2019-02-07)This thesis attempts to bridge science with technology applications by developing two lines of research, one theoretical and one practical. On the practical side, we describe the microscopic behaviour of a fuel cell, ... -
Microscopy and Spectroscopy of Materials for Blue Single Photon Sources
(2019-04-27)Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have shown much interest in recent years as potential single photon emitters. The InGaN-GaN system in particular offers comparably high temperature emission, polarised emission, and access ... -
Extraction of Superelastic Parameter Values from Instrumented Indentation Data
(2019-04-27)Interest in superelastic (and shape memory) materials continues to rise, and there is a strong incentive to develop techniques for monitoring of their superelastic characteristics. This is conventionally done via uniaxial ... -
Theory and significance of retained austenite in steels
(1980-03-22)The processes leading to the retention of small quantities of austenite following the bainite and martensite phase transformations have been examined, together with the influence of retained austenite on the properties of ...
