Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…Having confirmed the importance of spin-ice physics, chapter 6 explores the pressure and temperature dependence of the ice-like correlations. At least two phase transitions are identied at low pressure, kinetic trapping is observed and the extreme compressibility shown to be a function of cyanide reorientation and ice-like coordination. …”

A study on the snowing phenomenon in binary alloy solidification by Saffie, M.G.M., Tso, Chih Ping., Tan, F. L.

“…The snowing phenomenon has been observed in some studies where seed crystals formed near the bottom of the test cell during solidification are carried up flow above the mushy layer by thermo-solutal convection flow, and they fall down on it just like atmospheric snow occurring in nature. In this study, snowing phenomenon was studied by varying parameters which could affect the thermal as well as solutal gradients, at six weight % concentrations of ammonium chloride solutions, from 23% to 26%, with temperatures −24 °C, −20 °C and −16 °C, and at volume of solution either full or half-full. …”

Investigation of charge transport in nanofiber based solar cells by Sabba Dharani

“…High surface area and mesoporous photoanodes are essential for greater adsorption of sensitizer monolayer leading to improved optical density especially for low absorption coefficient sensitizers like Ru based complexes (N719). In order to enhance light harvesting efficiency which is instrumental in boosting the device performance, either thicker photoanode materials or dyes with higher absorption coefficients need to be engaged. …”
