A DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY STUDY OF COPPER OXIDES NANOWIRES AND CLUSTERS ON ANATASE TiO2 (101) SURFACE FOR PHOTOCATALYTIC WATER SPLITTING
(University of Eldoret, 2018)
Copper oxides deposited at titania surfaces have a bene cial e ect on the photocatalytic
activity of TiO2, particularly water splitting. However, the role of copper oxides and mechanisms
of enhancement remains to be ...
ROTATING OPTICAL BEAMS: DIGITAL HOLOGRAPHIC GENERATION, PROPERTIES AND SELF-RECONSTRUCTION DYNAMICS
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
This thesis reports on an experimental investigation of rotating optical beams. Superpositions of higher-order Bessel beams with rotating intensity profiles were generated using a digital holographic experimental technique ...
THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF A SOLAR AIR COLLECTOR WITH A RECTANGULAR AIR-DUCT PROFILE
(University of Eldoret, 2012)
Any solar energy conversion system requires proper designing and sizing in order for it to be cost effective with respect to energy production under the prevailing climatic conditions and initial cost. Modelling and ...
MODELLING AND OPTIMIZATION OF SUBTHRESHOLD LEAKAGE CURRENT IN LOW-POWER, SILICON-BASED, COMPLEMENTARY METAL OXIDE SEMICONDUCTOR (CMOS) DEVICES
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
The trend of process scaling for CMOS technology has made subthreshold leakage reduction a growing concern for submicron circuit designers. Power consumption has become a principle design consideration as device sizes ...
THEORETICAL DETERMINATION OF SPECIFIC HEAT AND CRITICAL TEMPERATURE OF HIGH-TC CUPRATE SUPERCONDUCTORS BASED ON INTRALAYER AND INTERLAYER INTERACTIONS
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
The role of attractive interlayer and intralayer interactions in layered high-Tc Cuprate superconductors was investigated using a two-layer Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian was formulated and diagonalized using Bogoliubov ...
PROPERTIES OF CESIUM IODIDEWITH INTRINSIC POINT DEFECTS : A DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY STUDY
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
Cesium Iodide is one of the fastest scintillators with a very short decay time of 16ns.
This has made the material to attract a lot of attention in research and imaging industry
especially regarding how to make it a ...
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF CUBIC BORON NITRIDE AND CARBON BORON NITRIDE: A QUANTUM MONTE CARLO STUDY
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Carbon Boron Nitride (BC2N) has attracted a lot of attention in research and
industry since it was first synthesized and continues to maintain this interest due to
the fascinating mechanical and electronic properties ...
CANONICAL TRANSFORMATION AND THE PROPERTIES OF A MIXTURE OF FERMIONS AND BOSONS AT LOW TEMPERATURE
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Properties of free and interacting systems of bosons and fermions have been studied theoretically using canonical transformation. In the last few years (1995 to be exact), condensates have been obtained practically in the ...
A MODIFIED NUCLEAR MODEL FOR BINDING ENERGY OF NUCLEI AND THE ISLAND OF STABILITY
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
A new nuclear model of quantifying binding energy of nuclei is proposed. The nucleus is
assumed to be composed of two regions; the inner core region and surface region. The
inner core is assumed to be composed of Z ...
THE CORRELATION BETWEEN NUCLEON-NUCLEON INTERACTION, PAIRING ENERGY GAP AND PHASE SHIFT FOR IDENTICAL NUCLEONS IN NUCLEAR SYSTEMS.
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
The correlation between nucleon-nucleon interactions 𝑉(𝑟) and the pairing energy gap Δ is studied theoretically. When two nuclear particles collide due to the interaction, they get scattered after approaching within a ...
