In the process of reducing fossil fuel consumption and continuous development of clean energy, photovoltaic technologies will play an increasing role. Current mainstream solar cell technology, crystalline silicon solar ...

This thesis explores the possibility of utilising liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) for thermal sensing applications. To measure its thermal properties, a thin film of LCE was photopolymerised in splayed nematic alignment ...

Fractals are not only beautiful mathematical constructions, but they can be found all around in nature. Temporal fractals characterize a variety of fluctuations in human functions, such as in gait, heart rate and breathing. ...

The thesis studied the cooling water system of a piston engine. The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of pump installation on the functionality of a temperature control valve. The temperature control ...

A recently discovered perturbation-induced quantum scarring phenomenon is an example of quantum mechanical suppression of chaos. The phenomenon is seen on some eigenstates of the system as quantum scars, which are remnants ...

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the impact of the glass composition on the formation of Ag nanoparticles in Er3+ doped phosphate glasses. The first task was to prepare Er3+ doped oxyfluoride phosphate ...

Optical projection tomography (OPT) is a biomedical imaging technique that uses visible and near-infrared light to investigate the spatial distribution and shapes of objects contained in a sample. It bears close resemblance ...
