Morphological and Optical Characteristics of ZnO and F: ZnO Thin Films by a Sol-Gel Spin Coating Technique

Y. A. Odedunmoye, I. T. Bello, O. Adedokun, M. K. Awodele & A. O. Awodugba · Asian Journal of Physical and Chemical Sciences · 2018

The increase in the application of transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) thin films has led to a continuous demand for improved quality films for solid-state devices. Indium tin oxide (ITO) which is mostly used as TCO is reportedly scarce, thus making it more expensive. This paper...

Riemannian Velocity and Acceleration Tensors/Vectors in Rotational Oblate Spheroidal Coordinates Based Upon the Great Metric Tensor

J. F. Omonile, P. B. Ojih, M. O. Alhassan & S. X. K. Howusu · Asian Journal of Physical and Chemical Sciences · 2018

Since the time of Galileo (1564 - 1643), Euclidean geometry has been the foundation on which the theoretical formulations of all geometrical quantities in all orthogonal curvilinear coordinates in Physics and Mathematics were built. But with the discovery of the great metric tens...

Implicit Four Step Stormer-cowell-type Method for General Second Order Ordinary Differential Equations

S. J. Kayode & O. S. Ige · Asian Journal of Physical and Chemical Sciences · 2018

An implicit four step stormer-cowell-typed method for direct solution of general second order ordinary differential equations is proposed in this study. In the derivation of the method, a combination of chebyshev and legendre polynomials was used as basis function to generate sys...
