The impressive developments in the semiconductor industry over the past five decades have largely been dependent on the ability to continually reduce the dimensions of devices on a chip. However, as critical dimension requirements for these devices approach the limits of photolithography, new...

Dangling Bonds (DBs) on the silicon surface exist when a silicon atom lacks a bonding partner, resulting in a localized orbital which is not involved in any chemical bonds. On the hydrogen-terminated Si(100) surface, such DBs introduce a mid-gap state. DBs can be created on this surface by the...

This thesis focuses on synthesis, characterization and catalytic applications of iron-based nanoparticles (NPs) in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Palladium “decorated” Fe@FexOy NPs (Fe@FexOy/Pd NPs) were prepared making use of established reducing nature and coordinating ability of the...

The synthesis of germanium nanomaterials with well-defined surface chemistry is of considerable interest, not only because of general scientific curiosity but also because of their vast potential applications in optoelectronics, energy storage, and the semiconductor industry. Covalently bonded...

In studies of nanoscale materials, electron tomography (ET) can be used to obtain three dimensional information on the morphology and spatial distribution of nanoparticles. Electron tomography records a tilt series of projected images of an object and then mathematically reconstructs a 3D map of...

Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) was used to fabricate nanostructured TiO$_2$ capacitive relative humidity (RH) sensors. These sensors exhibit sub-second response times and large sensitivities, but are susceptible to ageing. Ultraviolet (UV) treatment of the sensors has been found to reverse...
