ZnO:Sn deposition by reactive evaporation: effects of doping on the electrical and optical properties
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Tin doped zinc oxide thin films have been deposited by reactive evaporation, the deposition
has been done at various doping levels ranging from 1% to 8%. The optical properties have
been characterized using UV-VIS-NIR ...
First-principle investigation of structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Co2VIn and CoVIn Heusler compounds
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
Investigation of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of full-Heusler Co2VIn as well as half-Heusler CoVIn Cobalt based Heusler compounds using density functional theory (DFT) leads to the general conclusion ...
