Studies on Nanostructured Transition Metal Oxides and Related Composites for Supercapacitor Electrodes
Supercapacitors have acquired considerable scientific and technological position in energy storage field owing to their compelling power capability, good energy density, excellent cycling stability and ideal safety. ...
Design of Electroactive Materials and Mechanistic Investigations of Metal (Li, Na, Mg)-Sulfur Batteries
The thesis entitled “Design of Electroactive Materials and Mechanistic Investigations of Metal (Li, Na, Mg)-Sulfur Batteries’’ deliberates on some of the important issues impeding the progress of metal sulfur battery (Li/S, ...
Role of spin density and interchromophoric coupling in singlet fission
Singlet exciton fission (SEF) is the transformation of a photoexcited singlet exciton into two triplets localized on two chromophores coupled together. This process therefore produces two triplet excitons at the expense ...
Analytical Results on Disorder effects on Polaritons and Barrier Crossing Problems
Disorder plays a significant role in the study of numerous fields of research in chemistry.
Whether it is a more that 80 years old classic problem like Kramers’ escape rate or the current interest in polaritons, disorder ...
Synthesis of Amyloidogenic Peptides and Endosomolytic Peptides for Functional and Intracellular Protein Delivery Studies.
Over the past few decades, peptide research gained lot of prominence due to their extensive usage in and across domains ranging from biomedical to bio-material science. This thesis deals with two different types of peptides ...
Theoretical Studies of Polymer Dynamics in Confined Spaces
The growing use of micro- and nano-fabricated devices to study complex biological processes has made it increasingly important to understand the effects of confinement on macromolecular behaviour. In this thesis, I will ...
Shock Tube Investigation and Modeling of Dicyclopentadiene: Fundamental to Application
Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), a homodimer of cyclopentadiene (C5H6) was chosen for the present study. DCPD can be obtained by dehydrogenation of JP-10 (jet propellant C10H16) which is currently used as aviation fuel. The ...
Quantum Phases and Magnetization Plateaus of Skewed Spin Ladders
This thesis deals with theoretical studies of skewed spin ladders which are two legged ladder with periodic slanted rung bonds and can be viewed as periodic fused rings with two different number of vertices. The spin at ...
Theoretical investigation of H atom tunneling in Catecholate Monoanion: A combined time-independent and time-dependent quantum mechanical study
This thesis presents a combined time-independent and time-dependent quantum mechanical
study of a system, Catecholate Monoanion (CM) for the study of H atom tunneling. It has an
intramolecular H bond leading to a symmetric ...
Investigation of Psychrophilic SUMO Proteases: Towards a More Efficient SUMO Protease at Lower Temperature
Covalent attachment of the fusion protein, Small Ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO), to recalcitrant
target proteins (especially transmembrane proteins) make purification of the target protein much
easier by enhancing its ...
