Tin electrodeposition applications have rapidly evolved in the past 25 years.

Materials with strongly correlated electrons show some of the most mysterious and exotic phases of quantum matter, such as unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality and strange metal phase.

Metal complexes and 2D materials like graphene were combined to produce structures that can function as sensors.

Galaxies form and evolve through close interaction with their surroundings. As a result, the heavy elements ('metals') that are synthesized in stars, are found both inside and outside galaxies.

The interest of this thesis lies in spin transport in normal metals and superconducting half-metallic junctions.

PUMA aims at composing a geological map of the urban mine of Amsterdam for a selection of metals. Where are main deposits of copper, iron and aluminium located, when will they become available for secondary production, in what state and shape are they?

The redox-conversion reaction of metal-disulfide and metal-thiolate complexes are important, as they may shed light on electron-transfer reactions that often occur in Nature.

Catalysis is of extreme relevance in the production of everyday materials and plays a central role in many aspects of our life.

What are the life-cycle environmental impacts and risks to human health and ecosystems of a III-V/Si PV system? How can these be expected to change when the system is deployed at industrial scale? What are the most favourable recycling scenarios?

Heterogeneous catalyzed processes are highly significant to the chemical industry. Dissociative chemisorption (DC) of molecules on surfaces is always considered as a step with a high degree of rate control for heterogeneous catalysis.

Galaxies are environments where gas coalesces, cools, and is converted into stars. However, it remains unclear the exact mechanisms through which galaxies acquire, redistribute and lose their gas.

The aim is to discover where differently shaped metal nanoparticles distributes in Danio rerio, linking the distribution with genomic responses and so come up with a Mode of Action.

This thesis presents insights from our study of various correlated electron systems with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). In ordinary metals, electron-electron interactions exist, but get substantially screened due to the sheer number of electrons.

In condensed matter systems electron-electron interactions, negligible in everyday metals, can dramatically alter the electronic behavior of the system. Examples of such altered behavior include high-temperature superconductivity and modulation of the electron density.

The main subject of this thesis is the design and synthesis of paramagnetic molecules for protein studies with NMR and EPR spectroscopy.

This thesis focuses on the X-ray spectral analysis of merging galaxy clusters and the plasma code development for future high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy observations.

Laura van der Plas is sinds eind 2021 Wellbeing Officer voor Campus Den Haag. Door middel van verschillende projecten, zorgt zij ervoor dat er meer aandacht komt voor studentenwelzijn. Hoe gaat dit tot nu toe? En wat zijn deze projecten precies? Laura praat ons bij over de huidige stand van zaken.

Hoe gaan we in de toekomst energie opwekken zonder nog meer bij te dragen aan de opwarming van de aarde? Industrieel ecoloog René Kleijn spreekt over koolstofarme energie op radio en tv voor het programma Focus, en vertelt erover in de VPRO-gids.

Metal-based prodrugs based on ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes have proven to be very suitable for application in both photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photo-activated chemotherapy (PACT).

Climate change is one of the largest challenges faced by humanity. To combat this research into alternatives to fossil fuels is ongoing. Dihydrogen is considered a good alternative fuel, since its burning only forms water.

The focus throughout this thesis will be on gathering fundamental studies of the detailed structure and composition of the electrode/electrolyte interface effect on the rate and mechanism of key electrocatalytic reactions.

Do e-waste workers display enhanced effects of adverse health effects due to informal e-waste processing in Nigeria? Is there a difference between the health outcomes of the exposed and the control groups? Are there difference in health effects within and between job groups (collectors, dismantlers,…

Claudia Robustella worstelde in haar studententijd met haar mentale gezondheid. Mede door de hulp van haar studiecoördinator Rosa van Straten lukte het haar toch om haar bachelordiploma te halen.

CrO2, a half-metal ferromagnet, has shown great promise for superconducting spintronics applications for nearly two decades.

The findings in this thesis improve the understanding of 1) the relationship between exposure characteristics and toxicity of ENPs, 2) the joint toxic action of ENP mixtures and the comparison to metal salt mixtures, 3) how NOM affects the individual and joint toxicity of ENPs, 4) the extent of trophic…

Kunstmatige fotosynthese heeft als doel om via chemische processen zonne-energie om te zettn in brandstof. Semi-kunstmatige fotosynthese is een hybride aanpak waarbij chemische maar ook biotechnologische processen worden gebruikt. Wij hebben als doel om een hybride systeem te ontwikkelen met behulp…

Met de NMR faciliteit doen we onderzoek naar de synthese van paramagnetische moleculen om kennis te vergaren over de structuur en dynamiek van eiwitten. Deze kennis kan dienen als basis voor een medicijn dat zich hecht aan een eiwit of voor de ontwikkeling van vaccins. Medicijnontwikkeling is één van…

Scattering of light in the presence of nano-structured materials, i.e. with features in the order of the wavelength of the light or smaller, reveals details of how light interacts with matter at the nanoscale.

Can we develop a platform for raw materials intelligence?
