Transferred electron oscillators at MM wave frequencies and their characterisation using quasi-optical techniques
(University of St Andrews, 1990) - ThesisA study of high frequency millimetre wave oscillators is performed operating at W- band and above, using test bench equipment designed and constructed in St. Andrews. Octave tuneable oscillators have been designed, ... -
Fourier analysis of unequally-spaced time series : with applications to the study of helium stars and binary systems
(University of St Andrews, 1986) - ThesisThe application of the discrete Fourier transform to the determination of the frequency content of unevenly-sampled astronomical time series is discussed, and an interactive computer package which incorporates a variety ... -
An investigation of molecular opacities for late-type stars
(University of St Andrews, 1981) - ThesisThis work investigates molecular opacities under conditions appropriate to the atmospheres of late-type stars. Given a specified initial abundance of the chemical elements, the equations of atomic ionization and molecular ... -
The evolutionary status of the hot R coronae borealis stars
(University of St Andrews, 1989) - ThesisThe evolutionary status of the hot R CrB stars has long remained a matter of conjecture, primarily because of the relative dearth of relevant observational material. Previously the group had been thought to occupy a ... -
All-optical manipulation of photonic membranes
(University of St Andrews, 2017-06-21) - ThesisOptical tweezers have allowed us to harness the momentum of light to trap, move, and manipulate microscopic particles with Angstrom-level precision. Position and force feedback systems grant us the ability to feel the ...
