Improved membrane absorbers (2006)
Thesis
Oldfield, R. Improved membrane absorbers. (Dissertation). The University of Salford

This thesis presents research into two novel techniques for improving the low frequency performance, tunability and efficiency of membrane absorbers. The first approach uses a loudspeaker surround as the mounting for the membrane, increasing the movi... Read More about Improved membrane absorbers.

Damage formation and annealing studies of low energy ion implants in silicon using medium energy ion scattering (2006)
Thesis
Werner, M. Damage formation and annealing studies of low energy ion implants in silicon using medium energy ion scattering. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The work described in this thesis concerns studies of damage and annealing
processes in ion implanted Si, relevant for the formation of source / drain extensions in
sub 100 nm CMOS devices. Implants were carried out using 1-3 keV As, BF2 and Sb
io... Read More about Damage formation and annealing studies of low energy ion implants in silicon using medium energy ion scattering.

Combustion CVD : exploration of potential for optical thin film synthesis (2006)
Thesis
Gutierrez, G. Combustion CVD : exploration of potential for optical thin film synthesis. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The aim of this PhD was to undertake a study of combustion chemical
vapour deposition (combustion CVD or CCVD) for the optical thin film
materials synthesis. The most common variables for thin film formation were
investigated, e.g. precursor volat... Read More about Combustion CVD : exploration of potential for optical thin film synthesis.

On the theory of Helmholtz solitons (2006)
Thesis
Christian, J. On the theory of Helmholtz solitons. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This thesis is concerned with spatial optical solitons in (quasi-two
dimensional) planar waveguides, where there is a single longitudinal and
(effectively) a single transverse dimension, and whose symmetry the solutions
respect consistently. A key... Read More about On the theory of Helmholtz solitons.
