The influence of metal oxide transport layer and annealing temperature on perovskite solar cells (PSCs)
(2021)Organic-inorganic halide Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs) are the leading third-generation solar cells with the possibility to provide a fraction of green and affordable energy in the next technological era of solar energy. ... -
Development of near real time and cumulative GIC proxy indices.
(2021)Geomagnetic storms are phenomena which can give rise to geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), which have an adverse effect on technology in that they can cause anomalous low frequency currents that damage critical ... -
Baseline demand responsiveness framework for the conventional grid through appliance scheduling by evolutionary metaheuristics.
(2020)A major problem of many energy environments nowadays, is an obsolete and highly inefficient electricity supply system, the Conventional Grid (CG), characterized by a high peak to average ratio, out of an uncontrollable ... -
An interferometric investigation of the quadratic electro-optic effect in KDP.
(1995)Abstract available in PDF. -
Phase transitions in induced lattice gauge models.
(1995)The present research is based on the study of the phase structure of lattice models incorporating selfinteracting scalars and gauge background fields otherwise known as induced gauge models. Emphasis is placed on the effect ... -
Non-linear multivariate analysis of the global solar radiation received across five cities in South Africa.
(2019)South Africa is considered one of the most developed countries in Africa, however with more than 80% of its electricity being generated from coal, this country is considered one of the highest contributors to greenhouse ... -
Digital control of light.
(2019)The objective of this research was to describe innovative ways in which digital holography can be applied in controlling laser light. The ability to control and manipulate a laser beam has become an extremely desirable ... -
Fabrication and characterization of solution processed thin film solar cells.
(2018)This research focused on developing new organic and inorganic semiconductor materials and techniques for use in design and fabrication of organic photovoltaic solar cells. Despite OPVs having benefitted from material ... -
Non-reversal open quantum walks.
(2015)In this thesis, a new model of non-reversal quantum walk is proposed. In such a walk, the walker cannot go back to previously visited sites but it can stay static or move to a new site. The process is set up on a line using ... -
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 ...
