Ground state energy of a polaron in a superlattice

Mensah, S. Y.; Allotey, F. K. A.; Nkrumah, G.; Mensah, N. G. (University of Cape Coast, 2000)

The ground state energy of a polaron in a superlattice was calculated using the double-time Green functions. The effective mass of the polaron along the lanes perpendicular to the superlattice axis was also calculated. The ...
Giant electrical power factor in single-walled chiral carbon nanotube

Mensah, S.Y.; Allotey, F.K.A.; Mensah, N.G.; Nkrumah, G. (University of Cape Coast, 2001)

Using the semiclassical approach we studied the thermoelectrical properties of a single-walled chiral carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). We predict a giant electrical power factor and hence proposed the use of carbon nanotubes as ...

Abukari, Sulemana S.; Adu, Kofi W.; Mensah, Samuel Y.; Mensah, Natalia G.; Dompreh, Kwadwo A.; Twum, Anthony; Rabiu, Musah (University of Cape Coast, 2013-04-24)

We investigate theoretically the feasibility of amplification of terahertz radiation in aligned achiral carbon nanotubes, a zigzag (12,0) and an armchair (10,10) in comparison with a superlattice using a combination of a ...
General scattering mechanism and transport in graphene

Rabiu, M.; Mensah, S. Y.; Abukari, S. S. (University of Cape Coast, 2011)

Using quasi-time dependent semi-classical transport theory in RTA, we obtained coupled current equations in the presence of time varying field and based on general scattering mechanism τ ∝ Eβ .We find that close to the ...
Fungus covered insulator materials studied with laser-induced fluorescence and principal component analysis

Bengtsson, M.; Wallstroom, S.; Sjoholm, M.; Gronlund, R.; Anderson, B.; Larsson, A.; Karlsson, S.; Kroll, S.; Svanberg, S. (University of Cape Coast, 2005)

A method combining laser-induced fluorescence and principal component analysis to detect and discriminate between algal and fungal growth on insulator materials has been studied. Eight fungal cultures and four insulator ...
Fragmentation instabilities of a drop as it falls in a miscible fluid

Residori, S.; Buah-Bassuah, P.K.; Arecchi, F.T. (University of Cape Coast, 2007)

We review here a series of experiments on the fragmentation instabilities that a liquid drop undergoes it falls inside a fluid with which it is miscible, so called the solvent. Motivated by the original experiments initiated ...
Fragmentation of a drop as it falls in a lighter miscible fluid

Arecchi, F. T.; Buah-Bassuah, P. K.; Francini, F.; Residori, S. (University of Cape Coast, 1996)

We report an experimental investigation of the fragmentation process of a heavy drop falling in a lighter miscible fluid. For fixed liquid composition and for different drop sizes, we observe that the fragmentation cascade ...
Fragmentation instabilities of a liquid drop falling in a miscible fluid

Buah-Bassuah, P. K.; Residori, S.; Arecchi, F. T. (University of Cape Coast, 2014)

We report a set of experimental investigations on the break-up of a liquid drop when falling in a miscible solvent, with the density difference being positive, or negative, or zero. Non-dimensional numbers, derived from ...
Fragment formation in the break-up of a drop falling in a miscible liquid

Arecchi, F. T.; Buah-Bassuah, P. K.; Perez-Garc, C. (University of Cape Coast, 1991)

When falling in a lighter miscible solvent, a drop of liquid deforms to a torus which then breaks up into several fragments or just disappears by diffusion. By using liquids of different compositions we show the universal ...
Formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures during femtosecond laser ablation of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (hopg)

Zhang, W.; Zhou, M.; Amoako, G.; Shao, Y-L.; Li, B-J.; Li, J.; Gao, C-Y. (University of Cape Coast, 2013)
