Highly structured TiO2/In(OH)xSy/PbS/PEDOT:PSS to be used in photovoltaic applications
(University of Nairobi, 2006)A new highly structured system based on TiO2/In(OH)xSy/PbS/PEDOT:PSS/Au has been developed for photovoltaic applications. In this device, TiO2, In(OH)xSy, PbS and PEDOT:PSS serve as electron conductor, buffer layer, absorber ... -
Water quality issues in East Africa
(Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, 2009)The paper shows that in the analysis of a queuing system with fixed-size batch arrivals, there emerges a set of polynomials which are a generalization of Chebyshev polynomialsof the second kind. The paper uses these ... -
Angle resolved photoemission study of surface states on the Pt(997) vicinal surface
(University of Nairobi, 2010)One-dimensional atomic chains can be synthesized on stepped surfaces and the electronic structure of the high vicinal surface plays an essential role in determining the physical properties of atomic chains grown on top of ... -
Characterization of Vibrio cholerae Bacteriophages Isolated from the Environmental Waters of the Lake Victoria Region of Kenya
(2013)Over the last decade, cholera outbreaks have become common in some parts of Kenya. The most recent cholera outbreak occurred in Coastal and Lake Victoria region during January 2009 and May 2010, where a total of 11,769 ... -

Determination of heavy metals and nutrients in rivers Naka and Irigu, Chuka using aas uv/visible spectrophotometry
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Levels of concentration of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury) and nutrients in rivers Naka and Irigu were determined in the first three months (January, February and March , 2013 ) and variation downstream ... -
Surface Photovoltage Study of Surface Defects on Co-Doped TiO2 Thin Films Deposited by Spray Pyrolysis
(University of Nairobi, 2016)Surface photovoltage (SPV) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying electronic defects on semiconductor surfaces, at interfaces, and in bulk for a wide range of materials. Undoped and Cobalt-doped TiO2 (CTO) thin ... -
Identification and Sorting of Materials With Portable Libs Before Decommissioning
(University of Nairobi, 2016)Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a technique of elemental analysis. A laser beam is focused on the surface of the sample to be analyzed. A small quantity of matter is ablated and a plasma formed by the ... -
Optical properties of amorphous Se90-XIn10SbX thin film alloys
(University of Nairobi, 2016)Ternary thin film alloys of Se90-XIn10SbX (x = 1, 4, 10, 15 and 20) were synthesised by flash evaporation of the pre-melt quenched bulk samples under a vacuum of 10−5 Torr. Optical absorption analysis pointed to indirect ... -
Anilino-functionalized Graphene Oxide Intercalated With Pt Metal Nanoparticles for Application as Supercapacitor Electrode Material
(University of Nairobi, 2016)Nanostructured anilino-functionalized reduced graphene oxide intercalated with Pt metal nanoparticles was successfully synthesized. Graphene oxide nanosheets were synthesized using a modified Hummers method with simultaneous ... -
Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in Mn2VIn (001) films: An ab initio study
(University of Nairobi, 2017)First principles study of the magnetic anisotropy of Mn2VIn (001) films show perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), which increases as a function of the thickness of the film. Density functional theory (DFT) as implemented ... -
Effects of Substrate Radial-Position Relative to the Sputter-Gun Axis on the Electrical, Optical and Structural Properties of ZnO Thin Films Deposited by Reactive Direct Current Magnetron Sputtering
(University of Nairobi, 2018)ZnO thin films were deposited using reactive direct current (dc) magnetron sputtering on glass substrates placed at seven variable radial positions (-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 cm) relative to the sputter-gun (target) axis. ... -
Compositional and Thickness Effects on the Optical Properties of Zinc– Doped Selenium–Antimony Thin Films
(University of Nairobi, 2018)Chalcogenide system of antimony (Sb)-selenium (Se)-zinc (Zn) system is a promising semiconductor for phase change memory devices due to its thermal stability and low power consumption. The study investigated the effect of ... -
Does the Assumption of Exponential Arrival Distributions in Wireless Sensor Networks Hold?
(University of Nairobi, 2018)Wireless Sensor Networks have seen a tremendous growth in various application areas despite prominent performance and availability challenges. One of the common configurations to prolong the lifetime and deal with the ... -
The Role of ICT Tools in the Access of Climate Information by Rural Communities
(University of Nairobi, 2019)This paper, seeks to explore how rural communities especially women in Kitui county use ICT tools to access localized climate information and how Digital Capital facilitates or impedes the process. Our view is that the ...
