The main aim of this project was to peel off the epitaxially grown nanowires (NWs) from their native substrate and transfer them to the cheaper carrier substrate in order to make solar cell device from transferred NWs. Potentially the peeling and transferring idea is about to decrease the cost of NWs growth by reusing the native substrate especially for expensive material such as InP and GaAs whic

Al2O3 and SiO2 films were synthesized using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) at low temperature of 250 °C. Thermal ALD Al2O3 using Al (CH3)3 [trimethylaluminum (TMAl)] and H2O as precursors and plasma ALD Al2O3 using Al (CH3)3 [trimethylaluminum (TMAl)] and O2 plasma as precursor and oxidant, respectively. To grow SiO2 films Bis (diethylamido) silane as Si precursor and O2 plasma as oxidant were used

Popular vetenskapliga sammanfattning: Slemmiga trådar beskyddar blommande alg Att bada i en sjö där algen Gubbslem blommar är ingen trevlig upplevelse. Hur denna art på frammarch har lyckats invadera svenska sjöar förbryllar forskare.

Grazing resistance due to its large size and trichocysts releasing slimy threads has been suggested as a mechanism behind bloom formation in this species. Here, I performed grazing studies with two naturally occu
