Elasticity And Structural Phase Transitions Of Nanoscale Objects
(2015-12-14)Elastic properties of carbon nanotubes (CNT), boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT), double stranded DNA (dsDNA), paranemic-juxtapose crossover (PX-JX) DNA and dendrimer bound DNA are discussed in this thesis. Structural phase ... -
First principles study of the structural, electronic, elastic, mechanical, thermal, and vibrational properties in pyrochlores and temperature-dependent phonon properties in pyrochlores and SrTiO3 perovskite
In this thesis, first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to study the structural, electronic, elastic, mechanical, and thermal properties in a series of pyrochlore materials. The vibrational ... -
Ultrasound-Assisted Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy : Recovery of Local Dynamics and Mechanical Properties in Soft Condensed Matter Materials
(2017-11-14)This thesis describes the development and applications of an extension of DWS which enables the recovery of ‘localized’ mechanical properties, in a specified region of a complex jelly-like object which is inhomogeneous, ...
