However, the revolution has been stalled due to the inability to reach efficiencies comparable to their conventional counterparts, while retaining a high output power. In this work we will model a thermoelectric element based on nanowires embedded with a quantum dot superlattice

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka om räntan har någon påverkan på de svenska hushållens sparande. Hypotesen är att räntan inte har någon direkt effekt på sparandet men att den genom bostadspriser påverkar sparandet. Med data främst från Konjunkturinstitutets Konjunkturbarometer, som låter hushållen själva definiera och uppge sitt sparande, kan kortsiktiga förändringar i sparandet jämföras med
