    • Surface Studies of Niobium Oxides 

      Berman, Samuel (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)
      In this thesis, two important niobium-oxygen systems are studied. The first system is the NbO "nanocrystal" termination of Nb(110). A new model to explain this structure based on a monolayer of oxygen covering the surface ...

    • Modelling electromechanical properties of 2D materials and heterostructures 

      Georgoulea, Nina (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)
      Strain, both naturally occurring and deliberately engineered, can have a considerable effect on the structural, electronic, and transport properties of 2D and layered materials. Uniaxial or biaxial heterostrain (i.e. ...

    • Multifunctional Thin Films of Vanadium Oxides for Enhanced Energy Applications 

      Ainabayev, Ardak (Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)
      This thesis deals with the growth, characterisation, and application of VO2 and V2O3 thin films. Various methods were employed to prepare and analyze the VO2 and V2O3 films, aiming to explore the suitability of their ...
