Quantum information theory
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2000-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: What are the information processing capabilities of physical systems?
As recently as the first half of the 20th century this question did not even have a definite
meaning. What is information, and how ...
Relativistic plane wave description of spin transfer observables for proton knockout reactions
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2001-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this dissertation we set out to develop the first relativistic model for calculating complete
sets of (p, 2p) spin transfer observables. In addition to this a new technique has been developed
which ...
Effective field theories for disordered systems from the logarithmic derivative of the wave-function
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2001-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this dissertation, we give an overview of disordered systems, where we concentrate on the
theoretical calculation techniques used in this field. We first discuss the general properties of
disordered ...
Cross sections and analysing power energy-sharing distributions of valence (p,2p)-knockout from 208Pb with a projectile of 200MeV
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2000-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
The aim of this work was to study the 208Pb(p,2p)207Tl quasi-free knockout process. The
experimental data were measured at the National Accelerator Centre using incident polarised
protons of 200 MeV. ...
Flow equations for hamiltonians from continuous unitary transformations
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2003-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis presents an overview of the flow equations recently introduced by Wegner. The little
known mathematical framework is established in the initial chapter and used as a background for the
entire ...
Polymer networks at surfaces
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2003-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis the formation and properties of a polymer gel on and at a surface
are investigated. The gel under investigation is defined as a three-dimensional network
of macromolecules that form ...
Two-nucleon transfer in the 58Ni(p;3He)56Co reaction at incident energies of 80, 100 and 120 MeV
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)
Please refer to full text for abstract.
Transient absorption spectroscopy of metal complexes : dithizonatophenylmercury(II) and derivatives
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The availability of laser systems capable of generating ultrashort optical pulses in the visible
spectral range have made it possible to study molecular species with a temporal resolution
in the order ...
Exciton dynamics in tetracene single crystals studied using femtosecond laser spectroscopy
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: See full text
Monte Carlo simulation of direction sensitive antineutrino detection
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
Neutrino and antineutrino detection is a fairly new eld of experimental physics,
mostly due to the small interaction cross section of these particles. Most of
the detectors in use today are huge ...
