Jonathan Scragg documents his work on a very promising material suitable for use in solar cells. Copper Zinc Tin Sulfide (CZTS) is a low cost, earth-abundant material suitable for large scale deplo...

This thesis addresses the development of a new force spectroscopy tool, correlation force spectroscopy (CFS) for the measurement of the properties of very small volumes of material (molecular to µm...

Since the contributions to this volume stem from very different fields, no attempt was made to find a systematic ordering. All results are new in so far as they have not been published so far.

This textbook reviews the novel techniques employed in corneal transplantation. It will assist fellows and corneal surgeons in using these techniques to best effect and in selecting patients for su...

During the past few years, determining the "value of IT" has ranked high on the agenda of IT managers and Chief Information O?cers (CIOs). The rather broad and abstract topic has been intensively d...

Many problems of the engineering sciences, physics, and mathematics lead to con volution equations and their various modifications. Convolution equations on a half-line can be studied by having rec...

Devices based on organic semiconductors, like organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) or organic solar cells, often comprise electrochemically doped charge transport layers, which improve the perform...
