Design and development of an external cavity diode laser for laser cooling and spectroscopy applications

Nyamuda, Gibson Peter (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-12)

External cavity diode lasers are used increasingly as sources of light in applications ranging from industrial photonic systems to basic laboratory research on the interaction of light and atoms. External cavity diode ...
A flow equation approach to semi-classical approximations : a comparison with the WKB method

Thom, Jacobus Daniel (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-12)

The aim of this thesis is the semi-classical implementation of Wegner’s flow equations and comparison with the well-established Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin method. We do this by converting operators, in particular the ...
Fluctuations in a melt of flexible polymers with bond-directed dipolar monomers

Amuasi, Henry Emmanuel (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: static density and magnetic structure functions of a melt of flexible polymers whose monomers possess bond-directed dipoles which interact with each other. In order to observe the effect of screening ...
The metric for non-Hermitian Hamiltonians : a case study

Musumbu, Dibwe Pierrot (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2006-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: We are studying a possible implementation of an appropriate framework for a proper non- Hermitian quantum theory. We present the case where for a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian with real eigenvalues, we ...
Non-linear optical diagnostics of non-centrosymmetric opto-electronic semiconductor materials

Scheidt, Torsten (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-12)

Pre-equilibrium helion emission induced by protons

Bezuidenhout, Jacques (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-12)

This thesis is devoted to a study of the 93Nb( p r ,3He) and 59Co( p r ,3He) reactions at incident energies of 100 MeV, 130 MeV and 160 MeV. Double differential cross sections and analysing power distributions were ...
