Synthesis, structural and magnetic characterization of spinel nanoparticle ferrites with applications for electrochemical sensors.
(2015)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Quantum machine learning for supervised pattern recognition.
(2017)Humans are experts at recognising patterns in past experience and applying them to new tasks. For example, after seeing pictures of a face we can usually tell if another image contains the same person or not. Machine ... -
Quantum simulation of open quantum systems.
(2016)Over the last two decades the field of quantum simulations has experienced incredible growth, which, coupled with progress in the development of controllable quantum platforms, has recently begun to allow for the ... -
Photo-switching of dabcyl modified silicon microwire field effect transistors.
(2017)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Clustering analysis for classification and forecasting of solar irradiance in Durban, South Africa.
(2017)Classification and forecasting of solar irradiance patterns has become increasingly important for operating and managing grid-connected solar power plants. A powerful approach for classification of irradiance patterns ... -
Development of a post-processing technique for a Quantum Key Distribution system.
(2017)Quantum Information, Processing and Communication (QIPC) is a field concerned with technological implementations established on quantum mechanical phenomena. It is established on the concept that the action of ... -
Numerical simulations of fundamental light-matter interactions.
(2017)We present the results of the numerical investigations of light-matter interactions in one and two dimensions from the quantum mechanical perspective. We investigate the dynamics of two-level systems coupled to quantized ... -
Quantum Key Distribution for the undergraduate curriculum.
(2017)Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is one of the technological applications of quantum mechanics. The technology allows two users to securely establish an unbreakable key. The key is used to encrypt and decrypt sensitive ... -
Calibration techniques for 21-cm experiments with application to HERA: quasi-redundant calibration analysis.
(2018)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Determination of quantum entanglement concurrence using multilayer perceptron neural networks.
(2017)Artificial Neural Networks, inspired by biological neural networks, have seen widespread implementations across all research areas in the past few years. This partly due to recent developments in the field and mostly due ... -
Quantum analogues of classical optimization algorithms.
(2017)This thesis explores the quantum analogues of algorithms used in mathematical optimization. The thesis focuses primarily on the iterative gradient search algorithm (algorithm for finding the minimum or maximum of a ... -
Mesosphere-lower thermosphere planetary and tidal waves structure over the southern hemisphere using SANAE and Halley SuperDARN HF radar.
(2015)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Two-level system coupled to a structured environment - a computational study.
(2015)It is well known that analytical solutions to large complex problems are not tractable. Computational or numerical simulations of these types of systems allow one to investigate regimes where analytical methods fail. In ... -
Review of solar energy inclusion in Africa : a case study of Nigeria.
(2017)This work reviews solar energy inclusion in Africa using Nigeria as a case study. It reviewed studies made on viability, challenges and solutions associated with making solar energy a viable energy option in Nigeria. ... -
Experimental optimization of nanostructured nickel oxide deposited by spray pyrolysis for solar cells application.
(Research India Publications., 2018)This study focused on the experimental optimization of nanostructured nickel oxide (NiO) for solar cell applications. The optimization procedure involved the variation of the precursor concentrations of nickel acetate with ... -
Solar cells and global warming reduction.
(Research India Publications., 2018)This study proposes one way of addressing the issue of climate change and pollution using solar cells. The quality of life in developing and low-income countries is on the decline because of air pollution. Energy has a ... -
Modeling of fabricated NiO/TiO2 P-N heterojunction solar cells.
(Research India Publications., 2018)This paper reports modelling and theoretical validation of a fabricated NiO/TiO2 P-N heterojunction solar cell. The solar cell equations were modelled and thereafter theoretical validation of the fabricated solar cells was ...
