Particle identification studies with a full-size 4-GEM prototype for the ALICE TPC upgrade
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Abstract A large Time Projection Chamber is the main device for tracking and charged-particle identification in the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC. After the second long shutdown in 2019/20, the LHC will deliver Pb ... -
PDMS microlenses for focusing light in narrow band imaging diagnostics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Minimally invasive medical devices can greatly benefit from Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) diagnostic capabilities, as different wavelengths allow penetration of distinct layers of the gastrointestinal tract mucosa, improving ... -
Performance Analyses of a 454 kWp Grid-Connected Rooftop Photovoltaic System in Southern Norway
(Chapter, 2020)This paper analyzes and compares the actual measured and simulated performance of a 454 kWp grid-connected photovoltaic system installed on the rooftop of the university building. The data presented in this study were ... -
Performance of Co–Co(OH)2 coated nickel foam as catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction under industrially relevant conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In the present work, we employed a customised electrolyser test cell to quantify the electrocatalytic activity of a high-performing Co–Co(OH)2/nickel foam electrocatalyst, towards the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under ... -
Photoactive decontamination and reuse of face masks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to global shortages in disposable respirators. Increasing the recycling rate of masks is a direct, low-cost strategy to mitigate COVID-19 transmission. Photoactive ... -
Photodynamic therapy review: Principles, photosensitizers, applications, and future directions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive therapeutic modality that has gained great attention in the past years as a new therapy for cancer treatment. PDT uses photosensitizers that, after being excited by light ... -
Photoproduction of heavy vector mesons in ultra-peripheral Pb–Pb collisions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions, in which the two nuclei pass close to each other, but at an impact parameter greater than the sum of their radii, provide information about the initial state of nuclei. In particular, ... -
Pion-kaon femtoscopy in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76TeV measured with ALICE
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Femtoscopic correlations between charged pions and kaons for different charge combinations are measured in Pb–Pb collisions at with ALICE at the LHC. The three-dimensional pion-kaon () correlation functions and double ... -
Plasmon-induced visible light absorption arising from edge-interfaces of titanium-oxides nanocomposites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The efficient utilization of visible light on wide-bandgap metal-oxides is a long-term goal but is still a grand challenge for plasmon-driven chemistry. The plasmon-induced concentration of photons in adjacent materials ... -
Porous Thin-Wall Hollow Co3O4 Spheres for Supercapacitors with High Rate Capability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In this study, a zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) was prepared as a precursor using a facile hydrothermal method. After a calcination reaction in the air, the as-prepared precursor was converted to porous thin-wall ... -
Post-CMOS processing challenges and design developments of CMOS-MEMS microheaters for local CNT synthesis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be locally grown on custom-designed CMOS microheaters by a thermal chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process to utilize the sensing capabilities of CNTs in emerging micro- and nanotechnology ... -
