PhD thesis Title Electronic and magnetic excitations in graphene and magnetic nano-ribbons Supervisor Dr. Michael G. Cottam Description In this thesis I studied how to engineer the band gap of both the graphene and the magnetic nano-ribbons using the e鍖ects of the 2D lattice struc- tures, impurities, the roles of nearest neighbour and next nearest neighbour interactions and the formation of coupled bilayer systems Master thesis Title Evaluation of moisture content in wood 鍖ber and recommendation of the best method for its determination Supervisors Dr. Amin Fahim, Dr. Madiha Halawaa, Dr. Mohamed El-Nicklawy, and Dr. Nabila El-Sayed Description In this thesis calibration facilities have been established for measurement of moisture content in wood. The system was used to calibrate and compare between the most-used meters in the Egyptian market. Also, a successful mathematical model was developed for the relation between direct current conductance in wood 鍖bers and its moisture content, This gives a new calibration method for conductance type meters that is easy to use, low cost, and more time e鍖cient. BSc. fourth-year thesis project Title Application of some nuclear models to even-even Er isotopes Supervisors Dr. Nagwa El-Anany Description The energy levels of Er isotopes have been studied by means of the Variable Moment of Inertia (VMI) model and Rotation and Vibration (R-V) model. A computer program was written and executed to evaluate the energy levels of Er isotopes based on the VMI model the calculated values are compared with those from experimental work and there is an overall agreement with VMI model.
