(University of Pretoria, 2016)Almost all of the energy that sustains life on Earth was captured from sunlight during the process of photosynthesis. In the first step of this process, photons are absorbed by aggregates of pigment molecules called ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)Global energy demands have escalated over the past few decades, creating a necessity for alternative energy sources. Solar technologies inspired by the primary solar energy storing process known on earth, photosynthesis, ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)A femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy system was developed and used to characterize the charge-transfer processes which take place between photo-excited porphyrin and C60-fullerene supramolecular donor-accept ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2020-12-06)In the framework of the quasi-static approximation (QSA), some theoretical studies were conducted within the local response approximation (LRA). In these studies, certain plasmonic and plexcitonic systems were proposed, ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2021)Photosynthesis is the direct source of energy for life on Earth. This process begins with the absorption of photons by light harvesting complexes, such as light har- vesting complex II (LHCII) in plants and phycobilisome ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2018)Coherent control and transient absorption spectroscopy techniques have been used widely in biophysics to manipulate and study ultrafast molecular dynamics such as excitation energy transfer, internal conversion and ...

Synthesis and characterization of nanostructured hematite for photoelectrochemical water splitting (University of Pretoria, 2021)This study aims to synthesize nanostructured hematite films using spray pyrolysis at different deposition temperatures. L-arginine was used to transform the irregular shaped nanoparticles to uniform nanospheres by chemical ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)The fundamental mechanisms involved in photosynthesis provide an opportunity to study physical principles that span over both classical and quantum scales. A better understanding of these mechanisms will benefit the ...
