Pulsed laser deposition of multiwall carbon nanotube/NiO nanocomposite thin films. 56th Annual Conference of the South African Institute of Physics (SAIP), UNISA, Pretoria, 12-15 July 2011http://hdl.handle.net/10204/546456th Annual Conference of the South African Institute of Physics (SAIP), UNISA, Pretoria, 12-15 July 2011Due to their excellent properties CNTs is believed to be the best candidate to be an absorbing elements in the composite. “Stoichiometric transfer” makes PLD a suitable candidate for the composite growth. PLD experimental setup is discussed. The experimental results show that MMWCNTs are decorated with NiO indicating successful composite formation. The new composite material exhibit new vibrational properties different from the constituents. Samples have shown excellent adhesion to the substrate. There is no change in solar absorptance suggesting materials are promising for solar absorber application.enPulsed laser depositionThin filmsSelective solar absorbersMultiwall carbon nanotubeNiO nanocomposite thin filmsSAIP 2011Conference PresentationYalisi, B., Roro, K.
