Catastrophe theory, symmetry breaking and the pseudo Jahn-Teller effect
(2019)This research focuses on the structural symmetry breaking observed in hypovalent silicon containing compounds. The structural symmetry breaking was studied from the perspective of the pseudo Jahn-Teller effect (pJTE). A ... -
The development of an in-situ ATR-FTIR technique for the study of nanomaterials
(2009)The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy technique utilizes a short acquisition time and high sensitivity to function as a strong analytical tool in electrochemical studies. This work will focus on the development of ... -
Development of graphite based nanomaterials for green chemistry applications
(2017)Graphite is a valuable natural resource and useful carbon allotrope that has been explored for various applications. Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) transparent material, which is the strongest, thinnest, and most ... -
Formation and nanoscale characterization of self-assembled molecular structures on Au(111) and Ag(111) surfaces
(2024)The growing interests in nanomaterials stem from remarkable properties arising from reduced dimensionality. On-surface synthesis utilizes surface/nanoscale science techniques to design and make nanomaterials through a ... -
Synthesis and electrochemical study of palladium-based nanomaterials for green energy applications
(2014-01-22)Rising global energy consumption leads to increased environmental impacts. The continued use of current energy resources, e.g. fossil fuels, will exaggerate the cumulative nature of CO2 byproduct emissions in the atmosphere. ... -
Synthesis and electrochemical study of Pt- and IrO2-based nanostructured materials
(2006)With ever increasing awareness that our environment is being ravaged at an alarming rate and the very seriously high rate of diabetes, there has been much research into understanding, controlling and reversing these ... -
