This dissertation deals with finite-size effects in a few different quantum many-body phenomena in ultracold atomic systems. The finite-sized systems were simulated numerically using both mean-field methods and methods beyond mean-field, e.g. quadratic configuration interaction and exact diagonalization. The thesis is based on five scientific papers:Paper I is about the finite-size effects in the

A large portion of the PhD education in Sweden is dedicated to courses. This made it interesting to explore potential course supervision challenges in the PhD programme. A multiple-case study was conducted to identify such challenges and explore how these are perceived by students and supervisors at the Faculty of Engineering of Lund University. By interviewing students and supervisors in five dif

Oil has been for the past 50 years the most widely used energy source. That is because oil contains a lot of energy and is easy to transport and store. But the use of oil has drawbacks; it is believed to change the earth’s climate due to the combustion and the emissions of the green house gases. The particles from the combustion cause problems for the human health. Today Oil accounts for 33 % of t

In the Mesoscopic Physics Group, we are working towards a better understanding of nanoscale systems, where phase coherence meets fluctuations. Our goal thereby is to accelerate and contribute to the development of quantum technologies which make use of intriguing quantum features such as coherence and entanglement.

The contribution of cell generation to physiological heart growth and maintenance in humans has been difficult to establish and has remained controversial. We report that the full complement of cardiomyocytes is established perinataly and remains stable over the human lifespan, whereas the numbers of both endothelial and mesenchymal cells increase substantially from birth to early adulthood. Analy

Sepsis is associated with dysfunctional coagulation. Recent data suggest that platelets play a role in sepsis by promoting neutrophil accumulation. Herein, we show that cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) triggered systemic inflammation, which is characterized by formation of IL-6 and CXC chemokines as well as neutrophil accumulation in the lung. Platelet depletion decreased neutrophil accumulation,

In recent years there have been increasing evidence associating liver disease with hypercoagulability, rather than bleeding. The aim of the study was to evaluate the haemostatic potential in patients with liver disease.

X-ray imaging can be improved by utilising the wave-optical properties to extract images of complementary contrast. Normal x-ray imaging relies only on attenuation in the sample, but information about phase shift and scattering of the x-rays can be computed when special conditions are fulfilled.

Reumatologi utgör en egen forskargrupp vid institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper, Malmö, från och med 2021. Vi forskar inom breda områden inom reumatologi, med tonvikt på kroniska artritsjukdomar (reumatoid artrtit, spondylartrit och psoriasisartrit), jättecellsarterit, polymyalgia rheumatica, och primärt Sjögrens syndrom. Forskargruppen leds av Carl Turesson, och innefattar ett flertal postdoktoRheumatology is a separate research group within the Department of Clinical Sciences, Malmö, from 2021. We conduct research within wide areas of rheumatology, with an emphasis on chronic arthritic disorders (rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis), giant cell arteritis, polymyalgia rheumatica and primary Sjögren’s syndrome. The research group is led by Carl Turesson, and i

The effective conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemical fuels relies significantly on the donation of multiple electrons. Its efficiency is closely linked to both the density and lifetime of excited charge carriers. In this study, a hybrid catalyst system comprising covalently bonded InP/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and Re-complexes is showcased. The electronic band alignment between the

A method for CdSe quantum dot (QD) sensitization of ZnO nanowires (NW) with fast adsorption rate is applied. Photoinduced excited state dynamics of the quantum dots in the case of more than monolayer coverage of the nanowires is studied. Transient absorption kinetics reveals an excitation depopulation process of indirectly attached quantum dots with a lifetime of similar to 4 ns. Photoluminescence

Mn-doping into CdS quantum dots (QDs) has been demonstrated a useful way to enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSCs), the detailed systematic study is needed to get a better fundamental understanding. This work focuses on the study of the effects of Mn dopant on light harvesting, charge transfer, and charge collection of the solar cells. The resul
