Analysis of the fume produced during laser-material interactions (2020)
Thesis
Bridgwater, A. E. (2020). Analysis of the fume produced during laser-material interactions. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222494

The purpose of this research was to improve knowledge of the by-products of laser processing; namely the composition of particles, gases and vapours that are evolved during laser-material interactions. For IR sources, photothermal processes occur and... Read More about Analysis of the fume produced during laser-material interactions.

Laser processing of transparent conducting films for use in flexible electronics (2020)
Thesis
Eden, J. (2020). Laser processing of transparent conducting films for use in flexible electronics. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222279

Transparent conducting films based on novel materials have been laser processed on glass and flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates in order to increase their electrical conductivity. The goal was to reduce the amount of indium used in... Read More about Laser processing of transparent conducting films for use in flexible electronics.

Matrix isolation studies of transition metal halides and main group Lewis acid‒base complexes (2018)
Thesis
Sakr, A. K. A. M. (2018). Matrix isolation studies of transition metal halides and main group Lewis acid‒base complexes. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224599

The main purpose of this work was to synthesise and study the binary fluorides of nickel, cobalt and chromium, and the binary halides of palladium and molybdenum in solid argon matrices. Both UV/vis spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy were employed to... Read More about Matrix isolation studies of transition metal halides and main group Lewis acid‒base complexes.

Comparison of calculated and measured temperature fields in laser-heated thin film systems (2017)
Thesis
Clarke, A. J. (2017). Comparison of calculated and measured temperature fields in laser-heated thin film systems. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221782

Thermal modelling of the laser processing of nanoparticulate ITO films has been carried out with models of varying complexity. The results from a simple semi-analytical 1D model and numerical 1D, 2D and 2D-axisymmetric models are reported for continu...

This thesis describes research into infrared (IR) laser irradiation and damage of four commercially significant polymers: polyimide (PI), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP). Many research groups ha... Read More about Experimental and theoretical studies of surface and volume changes in dielectrics induced by long-pulse RF CO₂ laser irradiation.

Development of environmental water monitors based on hydrostatic and flourescence detection techniques (2009)
Thesis
Scott, R. M. (2009). Development of environmental water monitors based on hydrostatic and flourescence detection techniques. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209333

The research for this thesis led to the development of two environmental detectors, whose function was to identify predetermined threshold levels of the analyte. The research centred onto two types of analyte; immiscible and dissolved, both occurring...
