Microstructure development in lithium lanthanum titanate solid electrolyte

Author(s): Petruša Borštnar (Author), Nina Daneu (Supervisor)

Year: 2025

Type: Doctoral dissertation

All-solid-state batteries are one of the key technologies for future energy storage and the transition to a climate-neutral society. They offer improved safety, stability, and a broader operating temperature range compared to conventional batteries with liquid electrolyte. Perovskite Li0.33La0.56 0.11TiO3 (LLTO) is recognized as one of the most promising solid …

Spatial and energy distributions of sputtered atoms in thin film deposition techniques

Author(s): Nastja Mahne (Author), Miha Čekada (Supervisor), Matjaž Panjan (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2024

Type: Doctoral dissertation

The sputtering yield, the spatial distribution of the sputtered atoms, the energy distribution and the average energy of the sputtered atoms are important for numerous deposition techniques, as they determine the microstructure and the physical properties of the thin films. Using SRIM (Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter) simulations, …

Autonomous generation of robot behaviour for effective task execution

Author(s): Zvezdan Lončarević (Author), Andrej Gams (Supervisor)

Year: 2023

Type: Doctoral dissertation

The pursuit of autonomous robot learning is aimed at enabling robots to seamlessly integrate into our daily lives, enhancing our efficiency and convenience. On the other hand, in the industrial sector, autonomous robot learning plays a vital role in keeping up with the rapidly evolving market demands. As products and …

The effect of surface roughness on erosion yields and distribution of impurities on fusion relevant materials

Author(s): Mitja Kelemen (Author), Sabina Markelj (Supervisor), Primož Pelicon (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2023

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Plasma facing components (PFC) in fusion devices are exposed to plasma. Plasma-wall interaction processes are important as they impose a series of constraints on the components. The lifetime of the PFCs is dominantly determined by two processes: erosion and fuel retention. At the first wall the erosion is caused by …

Microstructural analysis and evaluation OF W and W/W2C composites for fusion application

Author(s): Andreja Šestan (Author), Miran Čeh (Supervisor), Saša Novak Krmpotič (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2023

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Fusion technology has a great potential to safely provide an inexhaustible quantity of electricity without producing greenhouse gases and minimal hazardous waste compared to conventional energy sources, such as nuclear power plants. For materials intended for fusion plasma-facing applications, the essential properties are structural stability at elevated temperature, adequate thermal …

Simulation of approximated Gaussian process autoregressive models

Author(s): Tadej Krivec (Author), Juš Kocijan (Supervisor)

Year: 2023

Type: Doctoral dissertation

This thesis presents the simulation of approximated Gaussian process autoregressive models. Gaussian process models are a Bayesian nonparametric regression method, the main advantage of which is the quantification of uncertainty in closed-form. However, the closedform solution for the marginal likelihood results in a cubic computational complexity with respect to the …

Development and application of molecularly imprinted polymers for selected antidepressants and studies of their environmental fate

Author(s): Tjaša Gornik (Author), Tina Kosjek (Supervisor), Ester Heath (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2022

Type: Doctoral dissertation

This thesis focuses on the fate of chosen antidepressants in the environment. Studied compounds belong to the class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Reportedly they do not completely mineralize by existing water treatment processes and their residues cause unwanted toxic effects in aquatic organisms. However, to date, insufficient information has …

Effect of coupling between external factors and building materials' properties on living conditions deterioration in low-energy buildings

Author(s): Jana Mlakar (Author), Janez Štrancar (Supervisor)

Year: 2013

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Buildings are complex systems as external factors are linked to, and have an effect on the characteristics of a building. In this dissertation, the focus is on the connection between external factors and the building’s characteristics, which have an impact on the living conditions, durability and energy efficiency of a …

A New Synthesis Route to Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-Based Materials by the Controlled Agglomeration of Reagent Particles

Author(s): Gregor Trefalt (Author), Marija Kosec (Supervisor), Bosiljka Tadić (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2012

Type: Doctoral dissertation

In this thesis we demonstrate a new, simple, and ecient method for the solid-state synthesis of oxides with a complex chemical composition. We modify the traditional solidstate synthesis method, which is used in the majority of ceramics laboratories around the world, in order to prepare multi-metallic oxide powders from classic …

Radio wave propagation in special environments

Author(s): Andrej Hrovat (Author), Gorazd Kandus (Supervisor), Tomaž Javornik (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2011

Type: Doctoral dissertation

In this doctoral thesis, radio signal propagation in special environments is discussed. The primary focus is on the development of a path loss model for radio signal propagation in long road tunnels and underground passageways, which allows a rather precise calculation of radio signal path loss and, consequently, a quick …
