Deposition of silicon nanostructures by thermal chemical vapour deposition
Khanyile, Sfiso Zwelisha (University of the Western Cape, 2015)In this thesis we report on the deposition of silicon nanostructures using a 3-zone thermal chemical vapour deposition process at atmospheric pressure. Nickel and gold thin films, deposited by DC sputtering on crystalline ... -
Dynamic variation of hydrogen dilution during hot-wire chemical vapour deposition of silicon thin films
Towfie, Nazley (University of the Western Cape, 2013)This study reports on the effects of hydrogen dilution and deposition time on six silicon thin films deposited at six specific deposition regimes. The thin film properties are investigated via X-Ray diffraction analysis, ... -
Effect of zinc oxide nanoridge height on solar cell performance
Seabi, Magdeline Mohlao (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 ... -
Metal oxide nanocrystalline thin films as buffer layers in organic/ hybrid solar cells
Bowers, Norman Mark (University of Western Cape, 2019)Without reverting to encapsulation, organic bulk - heterojunction solar cells can be protected from the oxidation of the highly reactive low work function cathode metal electrode, by the deposition of metal oxide buffer ...
