Transition metal oxides and chalcogenides are an ideal platform for demonstrating and investigating many interesting electronic phases of matter. These phases emerge as a result of collective many body interactions among ...

The present thesis reports computer simulation studies of several phase transition related phenomena in a range of soft-condensed matter systems. A coherent unifying theme of the thesis is the understanding of dynamics of ...

Diffusion plays an important role in a number of processes like heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion, separation and purification of chemicals of industrial importance, steel hardening, fuel cells, and solid electrolytes for ...
