Springer Theses
Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research
Aims and Scope
The series “Springer Theses” brings together a selec tion of the very best Ph.D.
theses from around the world and across the physical sciences. Nominated and
endorsed by two recognized specialists, each published volume has been selected
for its scientific excellence and the high impact of its contents for the pertinent field
of research. For greater accessibility to non-specialists, the published versions
include an extended introduction, as well as a foreword by the student’s supervisor
explaining the special relevance of the work for the field. As a whole, the series will
provide a valuable resource both for newcomers to the research fields described,
and for other scientists seeking detailed background information on special
questions. Finally, it provides an accredited documentation of the valuable
contributions made by today’s younger generation of scientists.
Theses are accepted into the series by invited nomination only
and must fulfill all of the following criteria
• They must be written in good English.
• The topic should fall within the confines of Chemistry, Physics, Earth Sciences,
Engineering and related interdisciplinary fields such as Materials, Nanoscien ce,
Chemical Engineering, Complex Systems and Biophysics.
• The work reported in the thesis must represent a significant scientific advance.
• If the thesis includes previously published material, permission to reproduce this
must be gained from the respective copyright holder.
• They must have been examined and passed during the 12 months prior to
nomination.
• Each thesis should include a foreword by the supervisor outlining the signifi-
cance of its content.
• The theses should have a clearly defined structure incl uding an introduction
accessible to scientists not expert in that particular field.
