Dynamics of diatomic molecules on metal surfaces: O2/Ag(110) and CO/Ru(0001)
(2017-01-25)
This thesis concerns with theoretical modelling from first principles of dynamics of two gas-surface systems (oxygen on silver and carbon monoxide on ruthenium) that are relevant to the heterogeneous catalysis. An accurate ...
Mechanochemical evolution of the giant muscle protein tititn as inferred from resurrecter proteins
(2017-07-07)
The sarcomere-based structure of muscles is conserved among vertebrates; however, vertebrate muscle physiology is extremely diverse. A molecular explanation for this muscle diversity and its evolution has not been proposed. ...
Fabrication and near-field characterization of mid-infrared transmission lines
(2017-07-11)
During this thesis, we fabricated infrared (IR) antennas and transmission lines (TLs), and characterizedthem by transmission-mode scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (transmission-mode s-SNOM). By means ...
Nanomechanics of pathogenic attachment: uropathogenic escherichia coli and human immunodeficiency virus.
(2017-12-15)
En esta tesis doctoral el objetivo ha sido estudiar la nanomecánica de proteínas de superficie celular involucradas en la adhesión de patógenos a células humanas. Concretamente se han estudiado lasproteínas que utiliza ...
Electronic and spintronic devices using two-dimensional materials
(2017-05-30)
Ever since in 2004 atomically-thin two-dimensional van der Waals materials became available to the scientific community, at the reach of manual microexfoliation techniques, their implementation in novel device structures ...
Morphology and dynamics of ice crystals and the effect of proteins
(2017-07-17)
La tesis "Morfología y dinámica de los cristales de hielo y su efecto en las proteínas" se basa en una amplia gama de temas que abarcan el fundamento de la estructura del hielo (tanto su superficie como su morfología), la ...
Dynamics of biological and non-biological aqueous solutions-Evidence of coupling between the motions of water and solutes
(2017-06-21)
Las proteínas son sistemas dinámicos que interactúan fuertemente con su entorno, de hecho, el propio disolvente es el que potencia los movimientos, aportando flexibilidad a la estructura de la molécula para que esta pueda ...
Novel synthesis routes of bioinspired nanoparticles and bio-based films
(2017-06-30)
La nanotecnología es un campo en continuo auge dedicada al estudio de objetos comprendidos entre unos pocos nanómetros y los 100 nanómetros. Debido a la gran relevancia de este tema, una parte de esta tesis se centra en ...
Single-chain nanoparticles: exploring novel synthesis Routes, basic properties and potential applications
(2017-12-14)
La manipulación de cadenas de polímeros individuales, específicamente el plegamiento intra-molecular para dar lugar a nanopartículas bien definidas denominadas ¿nanopartículas unimoleculares¿, es una vía de particular ...
Vapor phase infiltration (VPI) and doping of conducting polymers
(2017-10-10)
In this thesis, the "Vapor Phase infiltration"(VPI), a vacuum based process derived from the atomic layer deposition (ALD), is used for the top-down infiltration and doping of various conducting polymers. In the first part ...
