Triaxiality and rotational bands in 133ce
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The neutron-de cient nuclei between the N = 50 and N = 82 shell closures provide
rich information on the shape and structure of the nucleus. The isotones of 133Ce
and 131Ba (N = 75) lie in this region of the nuclear ...
Application of anomaly detection techniques to astrophysical transients
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
We are fast moving into an era where data will be the primary driving factor for discovering new
unknown astronomical objects and also improving our understanding of the current rare astronomical
objects. Wide field ...
Structural properties and optical modelling of SiC thin films
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) is a versatile material due to its interesting mechanical, chemical and optical properties that make it a candidate for application in solar cell technology. As a-SiC stoichiometry can be ...
Cosmology with HI intensity mapping: effect of higher order corrections
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
One of the main challenges of cosmology is to unveil the nature of dark energy
and dark matter. They can be constrained with baryonic acoustic oscillations
(BAO) and redshift space distortions, amongst others. Both have ...
Reconstruction of the ionization history from 21cm maps with deep learning
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Upcoming and ongoing 21cm surveys, such as the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), Hydrogen
Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) and Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), will enable imaging
of the neutral hydrogen distribution on ...
An investigation into the morphology of radio sources
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Radio galaxies are some of the most unusual and powerful objects in the Universe
and are therefore vital for so many reasons. Studies of Radio-Loud Active
Galactic Nuclei (AGN) gives us the potential to enhance our ...
Isothermal and non-isothermal comparative study of zn-sn system using real-time rbs
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Insight into the effects of isothermal and non-isothermal annealing on bi-metallic thin film is
important for material synthesis and application in everyday use. The effects of isothermal
annealing on bi-metallic thin ...
Anomaly Detection With Machine Learning In Astronomical Images
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Observations that push the boundaries have historically fuelled scientific breakthroughs, and these observations frequently involve phenomena that were previously unseen and unidentified. Data sets have increased in size ...
Study of low-lying proton unbound states in 24Al using the 24Mg(3He; t)24Al reaction.
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
This MSc project entails a study of astrophysically relevant states in 24Al,
that are important for a better understanding of the 23Mg(p,
)24Al nuclear
reaction rate in classical novae. This is a crucial breakout reaction ...
Synthesis and characterization of ion implanted Pd/Ti/V/Pd/Ti based multilayer thin films using rutherford backscattering spectrometry (rbs) and elastic recoil detection analysis (erda) for hydrogen storage application
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Hydrogen is regarded as an attractive, pollution-free energy carrier for future energy systems,
supported by its efficient energy conversion. Still, the challenge is its storage and transportation.
Hydrogen can either ...
