Atomic scale processes in GeSn layers induced by energetic interactions and thin film formation. KU Leuven
When an element is mixed with another element, i.e. alloyed, the properties of the material can change substantially (e.g. resistance, melting point, ductility, etc.). An example that is currently of great scientific interest is the alloying of the elemental semiconductor germanium (Ge) with tin (Sn). The Sn atoms will have a major effect on the crystal structure and the electronic energy levels, hence it is expected that ...

Studies of diverse nanocrystalline systems by means of integral low-energy electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (ILEEMS) and conventional transmission Mössbauer spectrometry (TMS) Ghent University
Two basis objectives of fundamental research are projected. The first one concerns the structural and magnetic charachteristics of thin (order of 50-500 nm) films of iron oxides, in a first stage of x-Fe2O3. A second main subject is related to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) catalytically grown in Fe-bearing matrices. Here, the focus lies on the thorough characterization of the Fe-containing nanoparticles that are involved in the catalytic ...
Gas cell stabilization in bread containing non-wheat cereals KU Leuven
Bread is an important staple food around the globe. In Europe and other parts of the world, it is most often made from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) flour and mainly with a straight-dough process. This process starts by mixing flour, water, yeast, salt, and potentially a number of non-essential ingredients into viscoelastic dough. The dough is then fermented, which results in gas cell expansion and thus in an increased dough volume. ...
The Belgian Silvering Screen: A multi-method research project on ageist discourses and representations in Belgian cinema (1945-2022) Ghent University
Research on mediated representations of age, old age and audience’s experiences around old age is still scarce. Nevertheless, there is a growing number of representations of older people in media (cf. film, TV shows, advertisements, etc.). Existing research on ageism frequently illuminates the topic from a focus on TV series and news articles. Much less research is done on film, despite the medium's wide reach and popularity. Given Belgium's ...
