This is the first account of the history of our understanding of, and ability to model, solidification microstructures. Its objective is to retrace the scientific steps made, from the earliest observations of the eighteenth century to our present-day under ...
The extraction, supply, market price and recycling of the metals used for superalloys were modelled using the systems dynamics model WORLD6. Peak production per capita (Supply Security) and stock-in-use per capita (Utility of Use) as well as resource stock ...

Control over the structure of metals at the mesoscale (2-50 nm) is crucial for emerging applications such as energy conversion, sensing, and information processing. The self-assembly of nanoparticles with block copolymers provides a natural entry point to ...
Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is a promising technology for electricity-to-fuel conversion which allows for direct production of hydrogen from water. One of the key problems limiting widespread implementation of PEMWE into energy syst ...
The Thermal Boundary Conductance (TBC) at the interface between metals and dielectrics is of key importance for heat transport in structures heterogeneous on a scale from 100 µm downwards. In this thesis the TBC of a large number of metal/dielectric couple ...
Metal organic supramolecular chemistry on surfaces has matured to a point where its underlying growth mechanisms are well understood and structures of defined coordination environments of metal atoms can be synthesized in a controlled and reproducible proc ...
Using a generalization of Fano formula that includes the intrinsic losses associated with metals, we retrieve the underlying modal structure that produces Fano resonances from the interference between a bright and a dark mode. This knowledge is used to det ...
Arsenic, chromium, cobalt and lead are among the most metalloid and metals present in the environment. When present in soil and water, they can be accumulated inside living organisms, enter several food chains and due to their toxicity affect human health. ...
A method for predicting selective performance of an adsorbent is disclosed. The adsorbent is selected from a list of metals and/or metal cations for use in removing contaminants as thiophene derivatives in hydrocarbon feed. The metals or metal cations are ...
