Application of Pulsed D.C. Magnetron sputtering deposition for the component layers of CuInSe2 thin film photovoltaic cells (2011)
Thesis
Karthikeyan, S. Application of Pulsed D.C. Magnetron sputtering deposition for the component layers of CuInSe2 thin film photovoltaic cells. (Thesis). University of Salford

The Pulsed D.C. Magnetron Sputtering (PDMS) process has been investigated for the deposition of the component layers that are used in the production of copper indium diselenide, CuInSe 2 (CIS), thin film solar cells. PDMS can use high plasma densit... Read More about Application of Pulsed D.C. Magnetron sputtering deposition for the component layers of CuInSe2 thin film photovoltaic cells.

Optical Emission and Mass Spectrometric Diagnostics of Laser-Induced Silicon Plasmas (2008)
Thesis
Cowpe, J. Optical Emission and Mass Spectrometric Diagnostics of Laser-Induced Silicon Plasmas. (Thesis). University of Salford

Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) were employed in tandem for diagnostic studies of Nd:YAG (532 nm) laser induced plasma plumes. OES measurements of laser-induced silicon plasmas were performed through a range of ambient... Read More about Optical Emission and Mass Spectrometric Diagnostics of Laser-Induced Silicon Plasmas.

The effects of design and environmental factors on the reliability of electronic products (2007)
Thesis
Lawson, W. The effects of design and environmental factors on the reliability of electronic products. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The reliability of electronic products is fast becoming of major importance with the demand for increased safety, especially in the automotive industry. Tracks, pads and vias on printed circuit boards can suffer a variety of problems if circuits ar...

The application of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) to the analysis of geological samples in simulated extra-terrestrial atmospheric environments (2007)
Thesis
Lucas, N. The application of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) to the analysis of geological samples in simulated extra-terrestrial atmospheric environments. (Thesis). University of Salford

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a technique that can determine the elemental composition and quantities of a sample by the spectral analysis of a laser induced plume. This study was undertaken to develop, characterise and assess th...
