Coherent electron displacement for quantum information processing using attosecond single cycle pulses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Coherent electron displacement is a conventional strategy for processing quantum information, as it enables to interconnect distinct sites in a network of atoms. The efficiency of the processing relies on the precise control ... -
Exploring the use of nanofluids in pump-free systems for solar thermal applications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)By using nanofluids as a working fluid in pump-free designs, thermal energy systems can become more efficient and have reduced maintenance costs, ultimately extending the system’s lifespan. In this paper, our goal is to ... -
Fluorescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime measurements of various carbon dots as a function of pH
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Measurement and monitoring of pH are essential in both the industry and academia. It is therefore important to continue developing novel, low-cost pH sensors that provide increased accuracy over long periods of time. ... -
A hybrid multi-particle approach to range assessment-based treatment verification in particle therapy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Particle therapy (PT) used for cancer treatment can spare healthy tissue and reduce treatment toxicity. However, full exploitation of the dosimetric advantages of PT is not yet possible due to range uncertainties, warranting ... -
In-situ measurements of rare earth elements in deep sea sediments using nuclear methods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03-21)The prospecting activities for finding new rare earth elements (REE) sources have increased greatly in recent years. One of the main discoveries was announced in 2011 by Japanese researchers who found large quantities of ... -
Inter-patient variations in relative biological efectiveness for craniospinal irradiation with protons
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Cranio-spinal irradiation (CSI) using protons has dosimetric advantages compared to photons and is expected to reduce risk of adverse effects. The proton relative biological effectiveness (RBE) varies with linear energy ... -
A Monte Carlo feasibility study for neutron based real-time range verification in proton therapy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-14)Uncertainties in the proton range in tissue during proton therapy limit the precision in treatment delivery. These uncertainties result in expanded treatment margins, thereby increasing radiation dose to healthy tissue. ... -
Photothermal conversion of biodegradable fluids and carbon black nanofluids
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The paper is devoted to the topic of direct absorption solar collectors (DASCs). Various kinds of fluids can be used as heat transfer fluid in DASCs, and the main focus of our paper is on comparing nanofluids (water with ... -
Quantum control and characterization of ultrafast ionization with orthogonal two-color laser pulses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-01-14)We study ultrafast ionization dynamics using orthogonally polarized two-color (OTC) laser pulses involving the resonant “first plus second” (ω + 2ω) scheme. The scheme is illustrated by numerical simulations of the ... -
Taxonomy through the lens of neutral helium microscopy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-14)The field of taxonomy is critically important for the identification, conservation, and ecology of biological species. Modern taxonomists increasingly need to employ advanced imaging techniques to classify organisms according ... -
Viking and early middle ages Northern Scandinavian textiles proven to be made with hemp
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-10-18)Nowadays most plant textiles used for clothing and household are made of cotton and viscose. Before the 19th century however, plant textiles were mainly made from locally available raw materials, in Scandinavia these were: ...
