  • Computational modelling of a hot-wire chemical vapour deposition reactor chamber 

    Fourie, Lionel Fabian (University of Western Cape, 2020)
    In this thesis, I explore the subjects of fluid dynamics and the Hot-Wire Chemical Vapour Deposition (HWCVD) process. HWCVD, in its simplicity, is one of the more powerful and elegant deposition techniques available in ...

  • Determination of natural radioactivity concentrations in soil: a comparative study of Windows and Full Spectrum Analysis 

    Maphoto, Katse Piet (University of the Western Cape, 2004)
    In this study, two methods of analysing activity concentrations of natural radionuclides (U, Th and K) in soil are critically compared. These are the Window Analysis (WA) and Full Spectrum Analysis (FSA). In the usual WA ...

  • Radiometric study of soil: the systematic effects 

    Joseph, Angelo Daniel (University of the Western Cape, 2007)
    The natural 238U, 232Th and 40K radioactive content of vineyard soil was measured with an in-situ gamma-ray detector. The activity concentrations measured with the in-situ detector are normalized using the laboratory-determined ...

  • Radon exhalation studies for applications in low background environments. 

    Goitseona, Ramonnye .J; Ramonnye, Goitseona. J (University of the Western Cape, 2022)
    Neutrinoless double beta decay (0 ) is a rare process that is yet to be observed. Observation of neutrinoless double beta decays would imply lepton number violation, and that the neutrino is its own antiparticle ...

  • Radon in the Cango Caves 

    Nemangwele, Fhulufhelo (University of the Western Cape, 2005)
    Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive element in the 238U decay series that is found in high concentrations in certain geological formations such as Caves. Exposure to high concentrations of radon has been positively ...
