Transport and thermodynamic properties of rare earth compounds and alloys
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Rare-earth (RE) elements possess an incompletely lled 4f shell, which is very small compared
to typical interatomic distances. As a result of this, RE elements and compounds
exhibit characteristic properties, which deviate ...
Cosmology with next generation radio telescopes
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The next generation of radio telescopes will revolutionize cosmology by
providing large three-dimensional surveys of the universe. This work presents
forecasts using the technique 21cm intensity mapping (IM) combined ...
Structure property relationship and thermal stability of organic photovoltaic cells
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
In this thesis, regioregularpoly( 3-hexylthiophene) (rr-P3HT) polymer was used as a light absorption and electron donating material, while the C60 fullerene and its derivative [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester ...
A study of hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon thin films deposited by hot-wire chemical vapour deposition (HWCVD)
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
In this thesis, intrinsic hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon thin films for solar cells application have been deposited by means of the hot – wire chemical vapour deposition (HWCVD) technique and have been characterised ...
Studying chirality in a ~ 100, 130 and 190 mass regions
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Chirality is a nuclear symmetry which is suggested to occur in nuclei when the total angular momentum of the system has an aplanar orientation [Fra97, Fra01]. It can occur for nuclei with triaxial shape, which have valence ...
Nial and steel as matrices and tic and oxynitrides as reinforcements in metal-matrix composite fabrication
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Metal matrix composites harness the superior attributes of their individual constituents to form high performance materials that would rather be impossible from monolithic substances. Owing to many possible combinations, ...
Inleiding tot die eksperimentele Sielkunde
(University of the Western Cape, 1948)
Elke skolier wat rue tevrede is om dit op skool slegs met lepels in te kry nie, het seker al gewonder hoe kennis oorspronklik verkry word. In daardie stadium is ons gewoonlik nog tevrede om die feite wat die onderwyser aan ...
Relativistic corrections to the power spectrum
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
The matter power spectrum is key to understanding the growth of large-scale structure in the Universe. Upcoming surveys of galaxies in the optical and HI will probe increasingly large scales, approaching and even exceeding ...
Radiometric characterisation of vineyard soils, Western Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
This study is aimed at investigating the feasibility of using the radiometric technique as an alternative to traditional methods for determining soil physico-chemical parameters which are important for terroir characterization. ...
Nuclear structure studies in the A=136 region using transfer reactions
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
This thesis describes research work undertaken to study neutron pairing correlations
in 136Ba via the 138Ba(p, t) pair transfer reaction and to perform
high-precision spectroscopy of low-lying states in 136Cs using the ...
