Deposition and structural properties of silicon carbide thin films for solar cell applications.
Khoele, Joshua Relebogile (University of the Western Cape, 2014)The growth of hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC:H) thin films deposited by Hot- Wire Chemical Vapour Deposition (HWCVD) for solar cell applications has been studied. The films were characterized for structural ... -
Laser drilling of metals and glass using zero-order bessel beams
Ratsibi, Humbelani Edzani (University of the Western Cape, 2013)This dissertation consists of two main sections. The first section focuses on generating zero order Bessel beams using axicons. An axicon with an opening angle y = 5⁰ was illuminated with a Gaussian beam of width ω₀ = 1.67 ... -
Low temperature growth of Amorphous Silicon thin film
Malape, Maibi Aaron (University of the Western Cape, 2007)The growth of amorphous hydrogenated silicon (a-Si:H) thin films deposided by hot wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) has been studied. The films have been characterised for optical and structural properties by means ... -
Nonlinear optical properties of natural dyes based on optical resonance
Zongo, Sidiki (University of the Western Cape, 2012)Recent research shows that the study of optical properties of organic material natural dyes has gained much consideration. The specific functional groups in several natural dyes remain essential for the large nonlinear ... -
Selection and optimization of the seeding procedure prior to the synthesis of Pd-based membranes
Mc Donald, Earl (University of the Western Cape, 2014)Pd based membranes are known for their incredible selectivity towards H2. In order for Pd membranes to display high H2 selectivity, a defect free layer of Pd needs to be deposited onto a support. Although various fabrication ...
