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)
