Using the surface electrodes, gyroscopes and accelerometers
The main goal of the project was to decrease the cooling time of a diamond anvil cell (DAC) by modifying an existing design. Modifications included change of materials, overall dimensions and a significant reduction of mass together with additional suggestions for decreased cool time. The initial design was known to function with current materials and dimensions. The first step of the thesis was
The aim is to study the role of energy in economic growth in two Nordic countries, Denmark and Norway. Both countries are welfare states with high living standards but with different energy supply structures.
