This thesis firstly describes the synthesis and characterisation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). We focused our research on the growth conditions of CNTs synthesized by chemical vapour deposition (CVD). In particular, the effect of the support surface structur ...
We investigated the variation of N:P and N:K ratio in ombrotrophic Sphagnum plants along a gradient of atmospheric N deposition from 1 to 2.5 g m(-2) year(-1) in Central-East Europe. The N:P and N:K ratio in Sphagnum capitula increased significantly along ...
In this work we have investigated the functioning of high resistivity amorphous silicon and silicon-rich nitride layers as a protection against discharges in Micro-Patterned Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs). When the anode is protected by a high resistivity layer ...
Two series of Au/TiO2 materials with different gold content have been prepared by dc-magnetron sputtering on ceramic shaped pure anatase or Degussa P25 TiO2. The time of deposition was varied between 1 and 20 min in order to obtain different thickness and ...
For building integration of solar-powered energy systems, aesthetic aspects play an important role. Covering a standard solar collector with a coloured glazing, opaque to the human eye but highly transparent to solar energy, permits a perfect architectural ...
Aluminum-catalyzed epitaxial growth of silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays was performed on Si wafer by chemical vapor deposition at 600°C. The arrays showed a low optical total reflectance in the visible light spectrum, with a minimum of 2% around 450nm wavele ...

This study reports HIPIMS-sputtered samples of Cu-particulate films with currents at 6 and 60 amps leading to E. coil inactivation. The Cu coverage and nanoparticle structure of the fibers is reported by TEM. Evidence is presented of redox processes in the ...
Graphene, a honeycomb lattice of a single atom thick plane of carbon atoms has captivated the attention of physicists, materials scientists, and engineers because of its extraordinary physical properties. These include exceedingly high charge carrier mobil ...
Peatlands in the northern hemisphere have accumulated more atmospheric carbon (C) during the Holocene than any other terrestrial ecosystem, making peatlands long-term C sinks of global importance. Projected increases in nitrogen (N) deposition and temperat ...
