Tin-oxide thin films by thermal oxidation
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Tin dioxide (SnO2) thin films are a worthy candidate for an electron transport layer (ETL) in
perovskite solar cells, due to its suitable energy level, high electron mobility of 240 cm2 v-1 s-
1, desirable band gap of ...
Construction and analysis of exponential time differencing methods for the robust simulation of ecological models
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
In this thesis, we consider some interesting mathematical models arising in
ecology. Our focus is on the exploration of robust numerical solvers which are
applicable to models arising in mathematical ecology. To begin ...
Effect of zinc oxide nanoridge height on solar cell performance
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Environmentally friendly photovoltaic devices make use of solar radiation as the energy source to generate electricity. Organic solar cells (OSCs) have been making headway in the last decade due to their cost-effectiveness ...
An hi study of the nearby dwarf galaxy ic 4710
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
This work aims to study the dark matter content of the nearby (7.38 Mpc) dwarf
galaxy IC 4710 using the HI line observations from the Australia Telescope
Compact Array (ATCA). We produce the rst interferometric maps of ...
Optimization of lead halide perovskite thin films by chemical vapour deposition
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Perovskite solar cells have gained tremendous attention within the past
decade, due to its rapid improvement in power conversion e ciency (PCE),
with the current record cell at 25%. The aim of this study is to create ...
Nitrogen and argon treatment of titanium dioxide nanowire arrays
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
TiO2 nanoparticle films are important electron transport layers (ETLs) in photovoltaics such as
dye-sensitised, perovskite and polymer hetero-junction solar cells. These films, however, have
significant electron trap-sites ...
Photo-physical properties of lead-tin binary Perovskite thin films
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Organic-inorganic lead-based perovskite has exhibited great performance in the past few years.
However, the lead (Pb) embedded in those compounds is a significant drawback to further
progress, due to its environmental ...
Neutral hydrogen intensity mapping on small scales using MeerKAT
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
In the post-reionisation universe, intensity mapping (IM) with the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen (HI) provides a potential means of probing the large-scale structure of the universe. With such a probe, a wide variety of ...
