Pore space extraction and characterization of sack paper using μ-CT
Eduardo Machado, Institute of Solid State Physics, TU Graz

Paper is a seemingly abundant material. The fact that paper is porous enables a vast number of commercial applications of paper. However, the experimental quantification of its porosity or its pore network properties is difficult and often highly indirect. For sack kraft paper, a ... more

Development and characterization of a humidity measurement system based on polymeric hydrogels
Anton Buchberger

Hydrogel thin films react to a humid environment with a quick change in thickness. Based on this behaviour it is possible to create humidity measurement system with a fast response time. Objective of this Master's thesis is a proof of concept for a humidity sensor by finding an a ... more

Understanding the adsorption of non-planar Subphthalocyanine molecule on the Cu(111) surface
Shashank S. Harivyasi, Institute of Solid State Physics, NAWI Graz, Graz University of Technology

We know that the structure of an organic molecule plays a determining role in its adsorption on metal surface and on the subsequent interaction between them. However, the case can be quite complex for non-planar molecules which show a varying tendency in planarization upon adsorp ... more

On the properties of annealed ZnO and organozinc thin films by plasma enhanced-atomic layer deposition
Alberto Perrotta

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a self-limiting vapor-phase technique that allows the deposition of (ultra-)thin films with excellent conformality and sub-nm thickness control. With this method, a variety of inorganic thin films can be produced, ranging from oxides to nitrides a ... more

Structure Prediction of Molecules on Noble Metals
Andreas Jeindl, Institute of Solid State Physics, TU Graz

The type of surface structure that forms on a metal surface determines many properties of the thin films, such as their solubility or conductivity. A crucial step towards designing functional organic-inorganic interfaces is therefore to understand and predict polymorphs that for ... more

Epitaxially Ordered Metal-Organic-Frameworks based on Copper- Benezenedioic Acid
Sebastian Hofer

Aligned Metal- Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are interesting for usage in optical, sensor and microelectronic application. Recently it is shown that MOFs can be prepared epitaxially on copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)2). In this work, MOFs, consisting of copper ions, linked in 2 dimensions b ... more
