Electron microscopy has become an extremely important techniquein a wide variety of elds.

Ferritin is a spherical metalloprotein, capable of storing and releasing iron in a controllable way. It is composed of a protein shell of about 12 nm and within its cavity, iron is stored in a mineral form.

Molecular materials have been a subject of interest in fundamental research and applications for decades, and have been studied as bulk crystals, (thin) films and as individual molecules, due to the large variety in their properties. This dissertation explores pentacene crystals near the two-dimensional…

Single-molecule spectroscopy has become a powerful method for using organic fluorescent molecules in numerous applications.

In condensed matter systems electron-electron interactions, negligible in everyday metals, can dramatically alter the electronic behavior of the system. Examples of such altered behavior include high-temperature superconductivity and modulation of the electron density.

This thesis describes a study from both a theoreticaL and an experimental point of view.

Bacterial chemosensory arrays are protein assemblies that are the key structural and functional component for motile bacteria to sense their internal or environmental chemical signals.

Materials with strongly correlated electrons show some of the most mysterious and exotic phases of quantum matter, such as unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality and strange metal phase.

The dissertation describes TEM experiments on heterogeneous catalysts.

Het Story of Light festival dat plaatsvindt van 14 tot 18 januari 2015 in Panaji, Goa in India, is een initiatief van Jaya Ramchandani, alumnus van de masteropleiding Astronomy and Science Based Business. Het festival valt onder ‘The International Year of Light’, een project van de VN om de wetenschappelijke…

This thesis presents insights from our study of various correlated electron systems with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). In ordinary metals, electron-electron interactions exist, but get substantially screened due to the sheer number of electrons.

n this PhD thesis, the recombination of different atomic lattices in stacked 2D materials such as twisted bilayer graphene is studied. Using the different possibilities of Low-Energy Electron Microscopy (LEEM), the domain forming between the two atomic layers with small differences is studied.

De Indiase premier Modi wil de geschiedenisboeken herschrijven om ervoor te zorgen dat de hindoes als de originele bewoners van India worden gezien. Modi's partij ziet India als een hindoestaat, terwijl wettelijk gezien het land een seculiere republiek is. Via geschiedenisonderwijs probeert hij de nationale…

In this Ph.D. thesis we study the interaction of low energy electrons with thin materials, namely layered materials (graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide) and organic films. At these low energies the quantum mechanical wavelength of the electron wave function is in the order of a…

Waarom bouwde India een sterke militaire alliantie op met Israel, na die staat gedurende 42 jaar te hebben genegeerd? Hoe konden beide landen samenwerking aangaan op militair gebied zonder noemenswaardige betrokkenheid van de politieke leiders? Hoe ziet de toekomst van de Indiaas-Israelische betrekkingen…

The inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) pyridazine elimination emerged in 2013 as a new bioorthogonal reaction and constitutes a prime example of what is now known as dissociative bioorthogonal chemistry. The research described in this Thesis aims to develop synthetic strategies which enable…

Nederland en India beleefden in de zeventiende eeuw een periode van economische voorspoed en culturele bloei. Tijdens deze gedeelde Gouden Eeuw raakten beide landen ingrijpend beïnvloed door toenemende globalisering en ontwikkelden ze zich tot grote wereldrijken.

Due to the almost complete disappearance of the archive of the Old Dutch West India Company (WIC, 1621-1674) not much is known about the ships and crews of this company. In this project we start the reconstruction of this basic information making use of new digital humanities techniques to extract this…

Electrons in a crystal lattice have properties that may differ from those of a free electron in vacuum.

Naar aanleiding van het toenemend geweld in oostelijk India tegen vrouwen beschuldigd van hekserij, interviewde Max van Weezel van het Radio 1 programma ‘Met het oog op morgen’ antropoloog Erik de Maaker.

In this thesis the combinatorial use of bioorthogonal labelling and Electron Microscopy (EM)-based imaging techniques is explored to enable observations of specific molecular targets in their ultrastructural context within the cell.

S.S. Kolipaka’s thesis questions and investigates the survival prospects of reintroduced tigers and their offspring’s in the human dominated landscape of Panna tiger reserve in India.

Welke factoren (mens-dimensie en carnivoor-gerelateerd) zijn bepalend voor de menselijke tolerantie ten opzichte van grote carnivoren en voor de overlevingskansen van grote carnivoren in bossen met meervoudig gebruik?

The research in this thesis is focused on tomographic reconstruction based on two imaging modalities in electron microscopy.

A single self-assembled semiconductor quantum dot in a high-finesse optical microcavity - the subject of this thesis - is an interesting quantum-mechanical system for future quantum applications. For instance, this system allows trapping of an extra electron and thus can serve as a spin quantum memory,…

Artificial photosynthesis has recognised potential to produce green and sustainable fuels from earth-abundant resources such as water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and sunlight.
