Cílem této práce je vývoj světelného zdroje založeného na technologii tlustostěnného elektroluminiscenčního panelu napájeného střídavým napětím (ACPEL). V současné době se jedná se o jedinou technologii založenou na metodách materiálového tisku vhodnou pro přípravu velkoplošných, flexibilních a vzorovaných zdrojů světla. Důraz je v této práci kladen na představení, prozkoumání a odstranění typických problémů, které jsou spojovány s touto technologií. Tyto problémy jsou omezený odstín barvy emitovaného světla a dlouhodobá stabilita elektroluminiscenčního prvku, který je vystaven vlivům prostřed

The aim of this research is to develop a wet-chemical silvering method for a three-dimensional (3D) textile material made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to prevent and eliminate biological contaminants in drinking water and other liquid-containing systems. Three-dimensional textile fabrics are particularly well-suited as silvered disinfection materials in water systems, because they have 3D structures, pressure-elastic textile design, and provide large contact areas. Furthermore, water can easily be passed through the structure. The developed wet-chemical procedures are based on aminosila

Abstract:
Hydrogen production from solar-driven water splitting (WS) reaction is considered a promising way to store solar energy. This process can be achieved directly by means of a photo-electrochemical cell (PEC), where light absorption, charge separation and WS occur in a single device; or indirectly, by coupling a photovoltaic device to an electrolyzer. WS is a thermodynamically uphill reaction, formed by two half reactions, i.e. the reduction of protons into H2 and the oxidation of water into O2. From a kinetic point of view, the latter is the most challenging one, being generally considered as th

Mechanical characterization of micro-volume systems, as thin films or micro-sized phases embedded in multiphase materials, has attracted special interest in the last decades since different micromechanical techniques have been developed to characterize microdevices and materials at the micro and nano scale and it has become apparent that mechanical properties may depend on the analysis scale. An example is the way a crack grows in a bulk material that is likely to be different from crack propagation in a micro-volume where crack and microstructural dimensions are comparable.

Abstract:
Materialien formen die moderne Welt: Sie umgeben uns in unserem alltäglichen Leben. Unser Ziel ist die Materialeigenschaften nach unseren Bedürfnissen maßzuschneidern. Viele Materialeigenschaften wie Bandücken und Elektronendichteverteilung werden durch elektronische Zustände bestimmt. Die meisten Vorhersagen in Bezug auf Materialien entstammen der Dichtefunktionaltheorie (DFT). Diese Theorie ermittelt Grundzustandseigenschaften und kann jedoch keine Energien von angeregten Zuständen liefern. Um angeregte Zusände zu beschreiben, bedarf es daher einer höherstufigen Theorie: die Vielteilch

Abstract:
This thesis contains a selection of the results on the shallow electron states of quantum materials that I obtained as doctoral student of the Scuola di Dottorato in Fisica, Astrofisica e Fisica Applicata at the Università degli Studi di Milano. I carried out my doctoral research activity mostly at the TASC-IOM CNR laboratory, in the framework of the NFFA and APE-beamline facilities (Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste), as well in dedicated sessions at the I2; beamline of the Diamond light source, Harwell Campus, UK. To access the electronic properties of materials I specialised myself in photoemissi

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether maternal employment contributed to the general inadequacy of the adolescent's evening meal, and to examine the attitudes of adolescents regarding the mother's role in evening meal preparation. A questionnaire was administered to 1180 high school students in a suburban area of Dallas-Ft.Worth in May, 1987. The hypotheses were tested using Chi square, Pearson product moment correlation, and Anova. Results indicated that maternal employment affects adolescent evening meals in the number of meals offered per week, fully prepared by mother, and eat

Abstract:
<p> During heat treatment of polycrystalline materials, grain shape affects the rate of grain growth. In 2-D, the von Neumann-Mullins Law requires grains with fewer than six edges to shrink, greater than six edges to grow, and hexagonal grains to be stable regardless of edge lengths or curvatures. The 3-D analogue, described by the MacPherson-Srolovitz relation, does not explicitly depend on any topological feature (number of faces, edges, or vertices), yet there is bias in the observed grain topologies in 3-D metal polycrystals. In order to investigate this bias and determine its origins, num
