Abstract:

This thesis addresses rheological characterization of mine tailings and paste materials as saturated solid-liquid or homogenous mixtures. Thickened tailings and paste fill can be classified as viscoplastic or time-independent non-Newtonian fluid material. Viscoplastic fluids deform plastically when the applied shear stress is less than a critical stress, which is known as "yield stress". When the shear stress exceeds the yield stress this type of fluid flows like a viscous material with finite viscosity.<br>In terms of pipeline design for transportation of mine tailings or paste materi

This work offers a novel approach to the investigation of material response in nanosecond laser ablation, by irradiating a thin film material library (having small variations in the chemical composition) with a beam of constant parameters. The method could be used as a way to assess the machining capability of a wide range of materials. Single-pulse craters were obtained with nanosecond infrared lasers (Nd:YAG, 1064 nm, 30-55 ns). The influence of reflectivity, thermal properties, surface and sub-surface morphology of the target material are correlated with the variations in crater geometry, m

This thesis presents a study of negative capacitance in the robust perovskite BaTiO3. Negative capacitance is an unstable state in ferroelectrics, which explains why there is a lack of experimental evidence in the literature. A positive capacitance in a series capacitor configuration allows stabilisation of negative capacitance. The key finding is the stabilisation of negative capacitance at room temperature in BaTiO3. Temperature constraints in back-end-of-line processing should be at 500 °C or below in order to avoid diffusion of dopants and to inhibit high resistivity silicide phases. Three

The use of sunlight has always been a major goal in the design and operation of commercial buildings to minimize electrical consumption of artificial lighting systems. Glazing systems designed to allow optimal visible light transmission also allow significant unwanted direct solar heat gain caused by infrared light. Conversely, glazing systems that are designed to reflect unwanted direct solar heat gain significantly reduce the transmittance of visible light through windows.

The electropolymerisation of a range of indole derivatives results in the formation of redox active films. These redox films have been observed to be highly luminescent. Earlier studies have investigated electrochemical and photophysical properties, for potential applications such as fast response potentiometric sensors or novel materials for light emitting devices. The work in this thesis extends this approach to electrochemical and computational studies of a range of novel redox-active aromatic systems. This work has exploited the continuing increase of computing power, employing powerful qu

Abstract:

A method was developed to access the interior of light-guiding structures in order to exploit the enhanced sensing potential of the highly confined electromagnetic field distributions, located within the core of a waveguide. The work presented in this thesis explores therefore the possibilities of optical waveguide spectroscopy utilising transparent mesoporous thin-film waveguides deposited on top of athin gold layer. These multi-layer assemblies are employed in a prism-coupling attenuated total internal reflection (ATR) configuration. The angular read-out of the reflected light intensity allo

Abstract:

In this work cadmium telluride thin film photovoltaic devices have successfully been produced using a novel closed-field magnetron sputtering technique. This technique offers the possibility of producing cells in an all-in-one vacuum process with the potential to provide a new lower cost production route. The sputtered cadmium telluride layers were characterised in detail using a range of advanced microscopy based techniques both in the as deposited and after the cadmium chloride treated state, a treatment that is necessary to produce a working cell. In the as deposited condition the cadmium t
