Using silicon nanowire (NW) arrays for solar energy conversion has gained special interest in the past years especially for their strong light interaction. The application in photocatalysis, however, requires an additional layer of protection for the silicon surface. To that end, silicon NWs with titanium nitride (TiN) coating, which exhibit a much stronger absorption than their uncoated counterpa

Denna uppsats behandlar gråzonen mellan straffvärda och straffria sexuella handlingar mot barn. Som utgångspunkt är alla sexuella handlingar mot barn otillåtna oavsett om de varit frivilliga.
