Evolution of the chemical composition of Sn thin films heated during x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(2019)High-vacuum XPS have been used to analyse the surface modification of a 3 nm-thick Sn thin film on Si (100) before and after annealing up to 450 °C. Increasing the XPS stage temperature led to a reduction in the amount of ... -
The evolution of the low-frequency radio AGN population to z 1.5 in the ELAIS N1 field
(Advance Access publication, 2020-11-13)We study the cosmic evolution of radio sources out to z 1.5 using a GMRT 610 MHz survey covering ∼1.86 deg2 of the ELAIS N1 field with a minimum/median rms noise 7.1/19.5 μJy beam−1 and an angular resolution of 6 arcsec. ... -
The evolution of the low-frequency radio AGN population to z 1.5 in the ELAIS N1 field
(Oxford University Press, 2021)We study the cosmic evolution of radio sources out to z ≃ 1.5 using a GMRT 610 MHz survey covering ∼1.86 deg2 of the ELAIS N1 field with a minimum/median rms noise 7.1/19.5 μJy beam−1 and an angular resolution of 6 arcsec. ... -
The evolving role of science in society
(José Frantz, 2020)The world is experiencing a traumatic change brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. It is traumatic because it is sudden and affects everyone around the globe at once. Nothing like this has ever happened so rapidly before, ... -
Existence domains of dust-acoustic solitons and supersolitons
(AIP PublishingAIP Publishing, 2013)Using the Sagdeev potential method, the existence of large amplitude dust-acoustic solitons and supersolitons is investigated in a plasma comprising cold negative dust, adiabatic positive dust, Boltzmann electrons, and ... -
Exomol line lists – xliv. Infrared and ultraviolet line list for silicon monoxide (28si16o)
(Oxford University Press, 2022)A new silicon monoxide ( 28Si16O) line list covering infrared, visible, and ultraviolet regions called SiOUVenIR is presented. This line list extends the infrared EBJT ExoMol line list by including vibronic transitions ... -
Exploring and interrogating astrophysical data in virtual reality
(Elsevier, 2021)Scientists across all disciplines increasingly rely on machine learning algorithms to analyse and sort datasets of ever increasing volume and complexity. Although trends and outliers are easily extracted, careful and close ... -
Extending BEAMS to incorporate correlated systematic uncertainties
(IOP Science, 2013)New supernova surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey, Pan-STARRS and the LSST will produce an unprecedented number of photometric supernova candidates, most with no spectroscopic data. Avoiding biases in cosmological ... -
Extending the Hoyle-State Paradigm to 12 C + 12 C Fusion
(American Physical Society, 2022)Carbon burning is a key step in the evolution of massive stars, Type 1a supernovae and superbursts in x-ray binary systems. Determining the 12C þ 12C fusion cross section at relevant energies by extrapolation of direct ... -
Extending the variability selection of active galactic nuclei in the W-CDF-S and SERVS/SWIRE region
(EDP Sciences, 2020)Variability has proven to be a powerful tool to detect active galactic nuclei (AGN) in multi-epoch surveys. The new-generation facilities expected to become operational in the next few years will mark a new era in time-domain ... -
Extracting the global signal from 21-cm fluctuations: the multitracer approach
(Oxford University Press, 2019)The multitracer technique employs a ratio of densities of two differently biased galaxy samples that trace the same underlying matter density field, and was proposed to alleviate the cosmic variance problem. Here, we propose ... -
Extremely broad lyαline emission from the molecular intragroup medium in Stephan’s quintet: evidence for a turbulent cascade in a highly clumpy multiphase medium?
(IOP Publishing, 2022)We present Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origin Spectrograph (COS) UV line spectroscopy and integral-field unit (IFU) observations of the intragroup medium in Stephan’s Quintet (SQ). SQ hosts a 30 kpc long shocked ... -
Extremely deep 150 MHz source counts from the LoTSS deep fields
(EDP Sciences, 2021)With the advent of new generation low-frequency telescopes, such as the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR), and improved calibration techniques, we have now started to unveil the subgigahertz radio sky with unprecedented depth ... -
F+ center exchange mechanism and magnetocrystalline anisotropy in Ni-doped 3C-SiC
(Elsivier, 2022)Towards the development of a magnetic semiconductor suitable for spintronic device applications in extreme environments, we explored the possibility of inducing magnetic interaction in SiC by doping Nickel. The X-ray ... -
Facile synthesis of NiSe2:α-Fe2O3 thin film: physical, optical and photoelectronic properties
(Thin Solid Films, 2023)In this study, a highly scalable approach to fabricating NiSe2:α-Fe2O3 heterojunction thin film in the absence of a dehydration step or lattice parameter matching was established. The attachment of NiSe2 to α-Fe2O3 leads ... -
