FIRST PRINCIPLES ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE CALCULATIONS OF BaF2 AND GENERATION OF PARAMETRIZED POTENTIAL FOR MOLECULAR DYNAMICS STUDY OF THE SUPERIONIC PROPERTIES OF c-BaF2
(2016-05-19)
The electronic structure and defects of barium fluoride, BaF2, have been studied using the denstiy functional theory, DFT and density functional perturbation theory, DFPT. Lattice parameter of 6.10 Å was calculated comparable ...
FABRICATION AND CALIBRATION OF LOW COST CAPACITIVE SOIL
(2016-05-19)
ABSTRACT
Soil humidity is critical in crop production and its control is essential to water conservation. The knowledge of soil humidity to majority of farmers in Kenya is based on effects of weather on crops and soil ...
Modified Phenomenological Formula for the Ground State Energy of Light Nuclei
(World Scientific News, 2019)
A modified phenomenological formula for the ground state binding energy in the region of light nuclei is proposed. Since binding energy is proportional to the volume of a nuclide, the new formula contains a volume term ...
20 G bps Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) Format for Capacity Upgrade in Optical Communications
(American Journal of Optics and Photonics., 2019)
In the fast growing society, communication is broadening so rapidly such that internet users need to access information rapidly and amount of data flowing through internet is very huge. Various ...
Correlation between Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction, Pairing Energy Gap and Phase Shift for Identical Nucleons in Nuclear Systems
(Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2019)
Assuming some known nucleon-nucleon interactions, and using the relations between phase shift δ and nucleon-nucleon interaction potential()Vr; the relation between nucleon-nucleon interaction and scattering length ...
Hardness characterization parameters of Niobium Carbide and Niobium Nitride: A first principles study
(Elsevier, 2019)
Niobium carbides and nitrides have been proposed as potential candidates for hardness and related applications,
however, comprehensive studies are still needed for better understanding that may pave way for their ...
Ab-initio Simulations ofCopper Oxide Nanowires and Clusters on TiO2(101)Anatase Surface
(Journal of Physical Chemistry, 2017)
Copper oxides deposited at titania surfaces have a beneficial effect on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2, but their role is not fully understood. In this work, possible nanostructures of copper oxide on TiO2 (101) have ...

Impact of Temperature and Relative Humidity on PMD in Directly Buried Optical Fiber Cables in Semi-Arid and Tropical Highlands in Kenya
(Hindawi International Journal of Optics, 2019)
The telecommunication industry has implemented fibre deployment guidelines that reliably safeguard cable health during installation in the field. While installed fibre cables remain buried in the field, temperature and ...
STIMULATED BRILLOUIN SCATTERING (SBS) CHARACTERIZATION IN MODERN FIBRES AND A TECHNIQUE OF SLOW LIGHT GENERATION
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is one of the recent technology that is being developed to generate slow light in optical fibres. It is one of the simplest and most applicable methods of slow light production. Slow ...
