• Bacterial bile salt hydrolase activity: from selection to impact on host metabolism and microbiota 

  Long, Sarah-Loiuse (University College Cork, 2019)

  Bile acids (BAs), biological detergents for nutrient digestion, are recognized as local and systemic signaling molecules which interact with a variety of receptors central to host metabolism. While BAs are synthesized in ...
• Electronic and optical properties of III-Nitride nanostructures 

  Patra, Saroj Kanta (University College Cork, 2019)

  Quantum dots (QDs) based on gallium nitride (GaN), indium nitride (InN), aluminium nitride (AlN) and their respective alloys (e.g. InGaN, AlGaN) have attracted significant interest for “non-classical” light emitters such ...
• Germanium tin nanowires: synergy at the nanoscale 

  Doherty, Jessica Anne (University College Cork, 2018)

  The race to create alternative, Si compatible, scalable, tuneable device materials over the past number of years has led to a focus on group IV elements. Alloying group IV semiconductors, such as Ge or Si with group IV ...
• Area selective atomic layer deposition of Si-based materials 

  Filatova, Ekaterina A. (University College Cork, 2019)

  Modern electronics are very small and light yet extremely powerful. This is possible due to the constant integration of new techniques and novel materials into the electronics fabrication process. In the current project ...
• Fabrication of plasmonic probes and composites for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) investigation of commercial inks and food contaminants 

  Alyami, Abeer (University College Cork, 2019)

  This thesis investigates the use of different Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS)substrates for commercial inks analysis and food contaminants detection. Metal nanostructures with different plasmon frequencies have ...
