First-Principles Multiscale Investigation of Structural and Chemical Defects in Metals
(2013-03-08)
This thesis explores multiscale approaches to describe structural and chemical defects in metals. Particular emphasis is placed on investigating processes involving grain boundaries (GBs) in combination with impurity and ...
Cooperativity, Fluctuations and Inhomogeneities in Soft Matter
(2013-09-30)
This thesis presents four investigations into mechanical aspects of soft thin structures, focusing on the effects of stochastic and thermal fluctuations and of material inhomogeneities. First, we study the self-organization ...
