Aluminium induced crystallization of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin films
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
This study was carried out to crystallize hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films using the aluminium induced crystallization (AIC) technique. This was done to investigate whether is there any lateral crystallization ...
The synthesis of analogues of the Anti-TB (agent: Diospyrin)
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Diospyrin, a bisnaphthyl quinone molecule with proven anti-TB activity can be retrosynthetically formulated into two halves. In this work, the analogue chosen to be synthesized was similarly retrosynthesized into two halves. ...
