Pyridine assisted CO₂ reduction to methanol at high pressure (2015)
Thesis
Touhami, D. (2015). Pyridine assisted CO₂ reduction to methanol at high pressure. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220932

Significant research efforts have been directed towards exploring electrocatalysts for the selective reduction of CO₂ to fuels such as methanol. Bocarsly et al (Princeton University) have recently reported the use of aromatic amines (e.g. pyridine (C... Read More about Pyridine assisted CO₂ reduction to methanol at high pressure.

Modelling of semiconductor nanostructures : electronic properties and simulated optical spectra (2011)
Thesis
Hong, B. H. (2011). Modelling of semiconductor nanostructures : electronic properties and simulated optical spectra. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4211756

III-V semiconductor nanostructures are widely used in optoelectronic devices (e.g. lasers and detectors) in the visible (0.4-0.8 μm), near-infrared (0.8-3 μm), mid-infrared (3-5 μm) and far-infrared (> 8 μm) wavelength ranges, with great potential fo...

Study of quantum dot and quantum well photodetectors (2010)
Thesis
Jabarullah, N. H. (2010). Study of quantum dot and quantum well photodetectors. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209552

A study of quantum dots-in-well infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) yields results useful for the creation of a two-colour QDIP. Quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) have been shown to be a key technology in mid and long wavelength infrared detect... Read More about Study of quantum dot and quantum well photodetectors.

Electro-optical method of distinguishing recyclable plastics (2010)
Thesis
Ee Yee, L. C. (2010). Electro-optical method of distinguishing recyclable plastics. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209592

The UK produces 3 million tonnes of plastic waste each year, of which 85% is landfilled, 8% is incinerated and only 7% recycled. Recycling just one plastic bottle saves enough energy to power a 60W light bulb for six hours. Our local East Riding of Y...

Electronic structure and optical properties of sb-based self-assembled quantum dots for the mid-infrared range (2009)
Thesis
Yeap, G. H. (2009). Electronic structure and optical properties of sb-based self-assembled quantum dots for the mid-infrared range. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209306

Quantum dots (QDs) are zero-dimensional nanostructures that confined carriers in three dimensions comparable to their de Broglie wavelengths. Therefore, carriers exhibit δ-shaped energy levels and densities of states. Due to their band structure, QD...

Optical characterisation of quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) for gas sensing applications (2004)
Thesis
Lai, K. T. (2004). Optical characterisation of quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) for gas sensing applications. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4212398

Although much work has been done on λ∼5-12 μm quantum well infrared photodetectors (QvWPs), the distinctive feature of this project is the use of strain compensated materials on InP substrates, AIAs (tensile) and InGaAs (compressive), to achieve shor...
