The aim of this Ph.D. thesis is the synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles to understand and optimize their macroscopic properties. The manuscript is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 is a general introduction ...

Two dimensional materials based electronic synapses for neuromorphic applications

Shi, Yuanyuan (Date of defense: 2018-07-24)

Electronic machines and computers have experienced a huge development during the last four decades, mainly thanks to the continuous scaling down of the hardware responsible of information processing and storage (i.e. ...

Understanding the measurements and variability of aerosol optical properties in NE Spain

Yus Díez, Jesús (Date of defense: 2022-12-20)

[eng] Atmospheric aerosol particles are key for regulating Earth’s atmosphere processes, and are estimated to present an overall cooling effect on the Earth’s climate. Given the current climate change crisis, and the need ...

Unveiling viral structures by single-molecule localization microscopy

Arista Romero, Maria (Date of defense: 2021-06-28)

Influenza A virus is one of the most outstanding human viruses. The major treatments against influenza are small analogues, monoclonal antibodies and vaccines, however, due to the fast mutation of the seasonal influenza ...

Wide bandgap chalcogenide thin films onto transparent substrates

Salem, Mohamed Ould (Date of defense: 2022-06-02)

This PhD thesis explores the use of wide band gap chalcopyrite (CIGS) material and its application in thin film solar cells onto transparent back contacts, as a way to promote the use of thin film technologies in novel and ...
