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 ... -
The faint radio source population at 15.7 GHz - II. Multi-wavelength properties
(Oxford University Press, 2015)A complete, flux density limited sample of 96 faint (> 0:5 mJy) radio sources is selected from the 10C survey at 15.7 GHz in the Lockman Hole. We have matched this sample to a range of multi-wavelength catalogues, including ... -
The faint radio source population at 15.7 GHz – IV. The dominance of core emission in faint radio galaxies
(Oxford University Press, 2020)We present 15-GHz Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array observations of a complete sample of radio galaxies selected at 15.7 GHz from the Tenth Cambridge (10C) survey. 67 out of the 95 sources (71 per cent) are unresolved in the ... -
The faint source population at 15.7 GHz - I. The radio properties
(Oxford University Press, 2013)We have studied a sample of 296 faint (>0.5 mJy) radio sources selected from an area of the Tenth Cambridge (10C) survey at 15.7 GHz in the Lockman Hole. By matching this catalogue to several lower frequency surveys (e.g. ... -
Feature guided training and rotational standardization for the morphological classification of radio galaxies
(Oxford University Press, 2023)State-of-the-art radio observatories produce large amounts of data which can be used to study the properties of radio galaxies. However, with this rapid increase in data volume, it has become unrealistic to manually process ... -
Feature Reduction for the Classification of Bruise Damage to Apple Fruit Using a Contactless FT-NIR Spectroscopy with Machine Learning
(MDPI, 2023)Spectroscopy data are useful for modelling biological systems such as predicting quality parameters of horticultural products. However, using the wide spectrum of wavelengths is not practical in a production setting. ... -
Figure rotation of dark haloes in cold dark matter simulations
(Oxford University Press, 2007)We investigate the figure rotation of dark matter haloes identified in cold dark matter (CDM) simulations.We find that when strict criteria are used to select suitable haloes for study, five of the 222 haloes identified ... -
Finding universal relations in Subhalo properties with artificial intelligence
(The Astrophysical Journal, 2022)We use a generic formalism designed to search for relations in high-dimensional spaces to determine if the total mass of a subhalo can be predicted from other internal properties such as velocity dispersion, radius, or ... -
Fine structure of the isovector giant dipole resonance in 142-150Nd and 152Sm
(American Physical Society, 2020)Background: Inelastic proton scattering at energies of a few hundred MeV and very-forward scattering angles including 0 ∘ has been established as a tool for the study of electric-dipole strength distributions in nuclei. ... -
First ground-based observations of sprites over southern Africa
(Academy of Science of South Africa, 2018)Sprites are the optical signatures of electrical discharges in the mesosphere triggered by large lightning strikes associated with thunderstorms. Since their discovery in the late 1980s, sprites have been observed ... -
First HETDEX Spectroscopic Determinations of Lyα and UV Luminosity Functions at z=2–3: Bridging a Gap between Faint AGNs and Bright Galaxies
(The Astrophysical Journal, 2021)We present Lyα and ultraviolet (UV)-continuum luminosity functions (LFs) of galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at z = 2.0–3.5 determined by the untargeted optical spectroscopic survey of the Hobby–Eberly Telescope ... -
First observation of the coexistence of multiple chiral doublet bands and pseudospin doublet bands in the A ≈ 80 mass region
(Elsevier, 2022)Two nearly degenerate positive-parity bands with the π g2 9/2 ⊗ ν g−1 9/2 configuration and three nearly degenerate negative-parity bands with the π g9/2(p3/2, f5/2) ⊗ ν g−1 9/2 configuration have been identified in ... -
