Electrical resistivity of the kondo systems (Ce1−xREx)In3, RE = Gd, Tb, Dy AND Ce(Pt1−xNix)Si2
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The present study investigates the strength of the hybridization by substituting Ce atom in Kondo lattice CeIn3 with Gd, Tb, and Dy and by changing the chemical environment around the Ce atom in substituting Pt with Ni in ...
The determination of boron using 11B(p, α)8Be nuclear reaction
(UWC, 2008)
Determination of trace quantities of boron is required in various studies of materials and in geology. Using 11B(p, α)8Be nuclear reaction with focused proton beam of 670 keV energy is one of the few microanalytical ...
Spin and parity assignment in 152 Gd investigating octupole structures
(University of Western Cape, 2008)
The high-spin states of the nucleus 152Gd have been populated via the 152Sm (α, 4n)
152Gd fusion-evaporation reaction at a beam energy of 45MeV. The emitted γ rays
were observed with the AFRODITE spectrometer array. The ...
Production of Li, Be and B nuclei in the interaction of 12C with 12C at incident energies of 200 and 400 MeV
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The objective of this project is to study the production of Li, Be and B isotopes emitted in the interaction of 12C with 12C at incident energies of 200 and 400 MeV.The energies of these produced fragments were measured ...
Filament carburization during the hot-wire chemical vapour deposition of carbon nanotubes
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
This study reports on the changes in the structural properties of a tungsten-filament when exposed to a methane / hydrogen ambient for different durations at various filament-temperatures.
An exploration of learning by women in the clothing and textile industry within the context of the National Skills Development Strategy
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
This study explored the learning experiences of black working class women in the context of the National Skills Development Strategy. The research focused firstly, on how the National Skills Development Strategy facilitated ...
Directional correlation from oriented states and linear poralization measurements of Gamma Rays from 190T1
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
High-spin states in the oblate deformed odd-odd thallium nucleus ( ) 109 190 81 Tl have been investigated through the reaction 175Lu(20Ne, 5n)190Tl at a beam energy of 115 MeV. The gamma rays emitted from 190Tl nucleus ...
Optical emission spectroscopy of laser induced plasmas containing carbon and transitional metals
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The spectroscopic, SEM and Raman measurements on carbon nanotubes under the exact conditions of which OES analysis were made showed that at a pressure of 400 Torr and a flow rate of 200 sccm, the quality and quantity of ...
