Author:Muller, TFG; Knoesen, D; Arendse, C; Swanepoel, R; Halindintwali, S; Theron, CDate:2006Hot-wire chemical vapour deposition (HWCVD) has been used to prepare both hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and nano/ microcrystalline thin layers as intrinsic material at different deposition conditions, in order to establish optimum ...Read more
Author:Oliphant, CJ; Arendse, CJ; Malgas, GF; Motaung, DE; Muller, TFG; Knoesen, DDate:Oct 2009This paper reports on the deposition of crystalline single-helix carbon microcoils, in the as-deposited state, by the hot-wire chemical vapor deposition process without any special preparation of nano-sized transition metal catalysts and ...Read more
Author:Oliphant, CJ; Arendse, CJ; Prins, SN; Malgas, GF; Knoesen, DDate:Mar 2012In this study we investigate the structural changes of a burnt-out tantalum filament that was operated at typical hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon synthesis conditions in our hot-wire chemical vapour deposition chamber. Scanning electron ...Read more
