Carbon, magnesium implantation and proton irradiation on pulsed laser deposited thermochromic thin film of VO2
Mabakachaba, Boitumelo Mafalo (University of Western Cape, 2020)When the spacecrafts orbit in space, it is subjected to significant thermal cycling variation. Thermal regulation of the spacecraft temperature is required to ensure a good operation of the small crafts such as CubeSats ... -
Hot-wire chemical vapor deposition of silicon nitride thin films
Adams, Abdulghaaliq (2013)Amorphous silicon nitride (a-SiN:H) thin films has a multitude of applications, stemming from the tunability of the material properties. Plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) is the industrial workhorse for ... -
Optical properties of annealed hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride (a-SiNx:H) thin films for photovoltaic application
Jacobs, Sulaiman (2013)Technological advancement has created a market for large area electronics such as solar cells and thin film transistors (TFT’s). Such devices now play an important role in modern society. Various types of conducting, ... -
Tin Catalyst preparation for Silicon Nanowire synthesis
Modiba, Fortunate Mofao (University of the Western Cape, 2018)Solar cells offer SA an additional energy source. While Si cells are abundantly available they are not at an optimal efficiency and the cost is still high. One technology that can enhance their performance is SiNW. ...
