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 ...
Exploration of several radiation-based analytical techniques to investigate chlorides and chlorides effects within concrete
(2007)
In this study, the capabilities of Neutron Radiography (NRad) and -Tomography (NTomo), as well as X-ray Radiography (XRad) to investigate chlorides and chlorides corrosion effects within steel reinforced laboratory concrete ...
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 ...
Optical modeling of amorphous and metal induced crystallized silicon with an effective medium approximation
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
In this thesis we report on the metal-mediated-thermally induced changes of the structural and optical properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon deposited by hot-wire CVD, where aluminium and nickel were used to induce ...
Modeling of the dispersion of radionuclides around a nuclear power station
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Nuclear reactors release small amounts of radioactivity during their normal operations. The most common method of calculating the dose to the public that results from such releases uses Gaussian Plume models. We are ...
Emission of ³He ⁴He and ⁶He particles produce from the interaction of ¹²C with ⁹³Nb at 400 MeV incident energy
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The inclusive double di®erential cross sections of 3He, 4He, and 6He par-
ticles produced from the interaction of 12C with 93Nb at 400 MeV incident
energy were extracted from the prescaled singles spectra which were ...
Nano-rods WO3-δ for electrochromic smart windows applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Tungsten oxide is a good electrochromic material which has been used in the construction of smart windows through visible modulation. These smart materials can reversibly change their optical properties with the application ...
Intense pulsed neutron generation based on the principle of Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PI3) technique
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
The development of a deuterium-deuterium/ tritium-deuterium (D-D/ D-T) pulsed neutron generator based on the principle of the Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PI3) technique is presented, in terms of investigating ...
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 ...
