Nanodiamond-treated flax: improving properties of natural fibers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Synthetic fibers are used extensively as reinforcement in composite materials, but many of them face environmental concerns such as high energy consumption during production and complicated decommissioning. Natural fibers ... -
Nanometer-Resolution Mask Lithography with Matter Waves: Near-Field Binary Holography
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Mask-based pattern generation is a crucial step in microchip production. The next-generation extreme-ultraviolet- (EUV) lithography instruments with a wavelength of 13.5 nm are currently under development. In principle, ... -
Nanoplasmonic laser fusion response to Földes and Pokol
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Földes and Pokol in their letter “Inertial fusion without compression does not work either with or without nanoplasmonics” criticized our works. Here, we refute their argumentation. Our proposed improvement is the combination ... -
Nanostructured Materials for Solar Energy Applications
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-03-23)The work presented in this thesis focuses on nanostructures, and what effect parameters like size, material, and surroundings have on their physical properties, with special emphasis on optical properties. The motivation ... -
Nanostructuring of free-standing, dielectric membranes using electron-beam lithography
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Nanostructured dielectric membranes are used in several applications ranging from de Broglie matter-wave optical elements to photonic crystals. Precise pattern transfer and high aspect ratio structures are crucial for many ... -
The Nature of High-Energy Tail Electron Precipitation
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-06-14)Denne avhandlingen er en del av en større forskningsinnsats ved Universitetet i Bergen som prøver å forstå "Hva er effektene av partikkelnedbør på atmosfæren?". Ett viktig steg mot et svar er å forbedre parametriseringen ... -
Near-surface petrochemical sensing using coplanar waveguides
(Master thesis, 2015-09-11)The project studies the ability of coplanar waveguide sensor in sensing thin layers of petrochemical liquid. A coplanar waveguide is built on flexible printable circuit board partially based on an existing design. Two ... -
Net-baryon fluctuations measured with ALICE at the CERN LHC
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11)First experimental results are presented on event-by-event net-proton fluctuation measurements in Pb- Pb collisions at \(\sqrt{s_{NN}}\) = 2.76 TeV, recorded by the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC. The ALICE detector is ... -
Nettle as a distinct Bronze Age textile plant
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-09-28)It is generally assumed that the production of plant fibre textiles in ancient Europe, especially woven textiles for clothing, was closely linked to the development of agriculture through the use of cultivated textile ... -
Network analysis of geomagnetic substorms using the SuperMAG database of ground-based magnetometer stations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-26)The overall morphology and dynamics of magnetospheric substorms is well established in terms of the observed qualitative auroral features seen in ground-based magnetometers. This paper focuses on the quantitative ... -
Network community structure of substorms using SuperMAG magnetometers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Geomagnetic substorms are a global magnetospheric reconfiguration, during which energy is abruptly transported to the ionosphere. Central to this are the auroral electrojets, large-scale ionospheric currents that are part ... -
Neural network approach for correction of multiple scattering errors in the LISST-VSF instrument
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The LISST-VSF is a commercially developed instrument used to measure the volume scattering function (VSF) and attenuation coefficient in natural waters, which are important for remote sensing, environmental monitoring and ... -
Neutral atom and molecule focusing using a Fresnel zone plate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008)Focusing of neutral atoms and molecules has several potential applications. The very first microscopy images using helium as an imaging probe were published earlier this year. Another possible application is to study the ... -
Neutral helium atom microscopy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Neutral helium atom microscopy, also referred to as scanning helium microscopy and commonly abbreviated SHeM or NAM (neutral atom microscopy), is a novel imaging technique that uses a beam of neutral helium atoms as an ... -
A neutral matter-wave microscope (NEMI): Design and setup
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-03-09)Matter wave microscopes such as electron microscopes or helium ion microscopes are vital tools in numerous fields of sciences. This thesis presents the design of a new matter wave microscope using neutral helium atoms as ... -
Neutral meson production and correlation with charged hadrons in pp and Pb-Pb collisions with the ALICE experiment at the LHC
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11)Among the probes used to investigate the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma, the measurement of the energy loss of high-energy partons can be used to put constraints on energy-loss models and to ultimately access medium ... -
