Heat transport in open quantum chains: currents, fluctuations, and rectification
Dissertation(Universität Ulm, 2019-04-18)This cumulative thesis addresses the subject of thermal energy transport in quantum systems. Based on an exact stochastic description of the system‘s interaction with its environment, a numerically efficient and flexible ... -
The Effect of Voltage Cycling on Catalyst Degradation in Automotive PEM Fuel Cells
Dissertation(Universität Ulm, 2019-04-11)Durability and cost are the two major remaining challenges for the commercialization of fuel cells in passenger vehicles. The platinum catalyst is one of the most expensive components in a fuel cell and degrades during ... -
Research and optimizations of iron composites as negative electrode materials for aqueous alkaline batteries
Dissertation(Universität Ulm, 2019-04-09)Iron is one of the most abundant elements in the earth’s crust and its applications are myriad; one of them is electrochemical storage of energy as battery electrodes. Despite the potential economic advantages, its extensive ... -
Insights into old and new acetogens: transformation barriers and genomics
Dissertation(Universität Ulm, 2019-04-04)Even though Clostridium aceticum is the first described acetogen, no reproducible protocol for genetic modification has been published in a peer-reviewed scientific article. Furthermore, C. aceticum possesses cytochromes ... -
The armadillo protein p0071 controls directionality of kinesin-2 driven transport by mediating KIF3 motor complex stability
Dissertation(Universität Ulm, 2019-04-03)In this study, a novel and unexpected role of the armadillo repeat protein p0071 in cellular transport is described. P0071 abrogation in cultured cells significantly interferes with secretion of various secretory cargo ... -

Surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy based on gold nanostars and spherical nanoparticles
Wissenschaftlicher Artikel(Universität Ulm, 2017-10-16)Plasmonic anisotropic nanoparticles possess a number of hot spots on their surface due to the presence of sharp edges, tips or vertices, leading to a high electric field strength surrounding the nanostructures. In this ... -
Towards enhanced optical sensor performance: SEIRA and SERS with plasmonic nanostars
Wissenschaftlicher Artikel(Universität Ulm, 2017-02-08)We report the preparation and characterization of plasmonic chip-based systems comprising self-assembled gold nanostars at silicon substrates that enable concomitantly enhanced Raman (surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy; ... -
Mid-infrared thin-film diamond waveguides combined with tunable quantum cascade lasers for analyzing the secondary structure of proteins
Wissenschaftlicher Artikel(Universität Ulm, 2016-04-28)Diamond has excellent optical properties including broadband transmissivity, low self-absorption, and a high refractive index, which have prompted its use for optical sensing applications. Thin- film diamond strip waveguides ... -
The hierarchical organisation of cuticle in the basis-coxa joint of terrestrial isopods: variations in structure and composition adapt the cuticle for movement, support and stability
Dissertation(Universität Ulm, 2019-03-14)This research on crustacean cuticle focuses on a correlation between architecture and function of a joint connecting a pereiopod (walking leg) to the body in isopods. In general, research on biological materials aims to ...
