A difficulty of studies on chemical kinetics are the reaction time scales and detection of their intermediates.

Surface plasmons (SPs) are surface waves at the interface between a dielectric and a good metal, and are formed by the interaction between light and the free electrons at the metal-dielectric interface. They provide strong field confinement for optical fields, opening new possibilities for enhanced…

Majorana fermions in superconductors are the subgap quasiparticle excitations that are their own antiparticles.

In this work, we attempt to answer the question:

This thesis seeks to combine two different research topics; Multi-Objective Optimization and Complex Network Analysis.

In the search for sustainable energy solutions, the idea of artificial photosynthesis has been proposed as an approach with which to use water and sunlight to produce hydrogen.

Onderzoeksgroepen in het Quantum Matter & Optics onderzoeksprogramma onderzoeken elektronische eigenschappen van interacties van materie en lichtmaterie, met de nadruk op quantuminformatie.

We investigate how radiation pressure can be used to influence the mechanical motion of a micro-mirror suspended from springs.

Natuurkundige Daniël Geelen ontwikkelde tijdens zijn promotie een nieuwe microscoop die laag-energetische elektronen gebruikt. Zulke elektronen zijn minder schadelijk voor biologische en organische materialen. Geelen promoveert op 31 mei.

Electrons in a crystal lattice have properties that may differ from those of a free electron in vacuum.

How do you make a technology sustainable that does not even exist yet? Well, by bringing together an interdisciplinary team of pioneering European experts right at the start and paying attention to sustainability right from the development phase.

Triplet superconductivity refers to a condensate of equal-spin Cooper pairs (pairs of electrons with equal spin).

An objective of this research was to achieve direct, well-defined and non-rate-limiting electron transfer between respiratory enzymes and the electrode surface by means of 'Q-wires'.

Astronomical observations of cold regions in the universe show a rich inventory of ices. Part of these ices may end up on planets like our own, but in that journey they will be exposed to considerable amounts of radiation.

Inverse problems are problems where we want to estimate the values of certain parameters of a system given observations of the system. Such problems occur in several areas of science and engineering. Inverse problems are often ill-posed, which means that the observations of the system do not uniquely…

In this PhD-thesis several new and existing data science application are described that are particularly focused on applications for tax administrations.

In the thesis we demonstrated an 85% state transfer efficiency between two mechanical modes coupled to a common optical mode via stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) in the classical regime. We also showed possibilities to manipulate quantum states of the mechanical modes via STIRAP.

In this thesis, we use low-frequency and high-frequency radio observations to address the following questions regarding quasars: is the radio loud/quiet quasar dichotomy real?

A century ago, it was unclear whether the stars in the sky were clustered in groups, or widely spread in the universe.

As a virtually inexhaustible source, solar energy plays a major role in future global energy scenarios.

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique used to visualize the inside of cells and to study specific protein complexes. Within this thesis, I describe the use of various cryo-EM techniques to gain insight into the structural changes of the human pathogen, Vibrio cholerae, as it…

Despite the fact that gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are one of the most studied nanoparticles, there is still a necessity for new approaches allowing for effective protective coating to enable wider use of GNPs in biomedical applications.
