Determination of the Spectroscopic Quadrupole moment of the first 2+ excited state in 32S
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
In this work we have determined the spectroscopic or static quadrupole moment
of the rst excited state (QS (2+1) lying at 2230.6 keV in 32S using the reorientation
e ect. The Coulomb-excitation experiment at safe ...
Synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles for photovoltaic application
(2013)
With an increase in the amount of harmful carbon emissions in the atmosphere as well as a decrease in the availability of fossil fuels, there is a relatively high demand for alternate energy devices. Solar cells have become ...
Effect of zinc oxide nanoridge height on solar cell performance
(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 ...
Nial and steel as matrices and tic and oxynitrides as reinforcements in metal-matrix composite fabrication
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Metal matrix composites harness the superior attributes of their individual constituents to form high performance materials that would rather be impossible from monolithic substances. Owing to many possible combinations, ...
An hi study of the nearby dwarf galaxy ic 4710
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
This work aims to study the dark matter content of the nearby (7.38 Mpc) dwarf
galaxy IC 4710 using the HI line observations from the Australia Telescope
Compact Array (ATCA). We produce the rst interferometric maps of ...
Signature splitting and inversion in the 186-194 Au Nuclei predicted by the total routhian surface (TRS) and cranked shell model (CSM) calculations
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The nearly oblate deformed Au nuclei show rotational bands built on multi quasiparticle excitations [Bou89, Bou92, Gue03, Gue01, Ven92]. Several of these bands are built on rotationally aligned high-j proton and neutron ...
Inleiding tot die eksperimentele Sielkunde
(University of the Western Cape, 1948)
Elke skolier wat rue tevrede is om dit op skool slegs met lepels in te kry nie, het seker al gewonder hoe kennis oorspronklik verkry word. In daardie stadium is ons gewoonlik nog tevrede om die feite wat die onderwyser aan ...
Relativistic corrections to the power spectrum
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
The matter power spectrum is key to understanding the growth of large-scale structure in the Universe. Upcoming surveys of galaxies in the optical and HI will probe increasingly large scales, approaching and even exceeding ...
Macroscopic and Microscopic surface features of Hydrogenated silicon thin films
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
An increasing energy demand and growing environmental concerns regarding the use of fossil
fuels in South Africa has led to the challenge to explore cheap, alternative sources of energy.
The generation of electricity from ...
Radiometric characterisation of vineyard soils, Western Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
This study is aimed at investigating the feasibility of using the radiometric technique as an alternative to traditional methods for determining soil physico-chemical parameters which are important for terroir characterization. ...
