Recent developments in the field of nano-structured materials for technological as well as scientific prospective are quite interesting. In this context carbon plays a dominant role. Few examples such as carbon nanotubes ...

The absence of long-range order in glassy chalcogenides provides the convenience of changing the elemental ratios and hence the properties over a wide range. The interesting properties exhibited by chalcogenide glasses ...

Sensors is one of the major areas of current research. Thin film micro/nano sensors are gaining attention worldwide, as there is necessity of miniaturization. There are varieties of sensors available by utilizing different ...

The present thesis concerns with a few investigations on sensing/measurement of small angle rotation/tilt using Pattern Imaging Method. The methodology involves looking at the tailored-objects located adjacent to the ...

We present in this thesis a detailed analysis of Higgs boson interactions at future colliders. In particular we examine, in a model independent way, the sensitivity of an Linear Collider in probing the interaction of ...

The different topics covered in this thesis include photosensitivity in germanosilicate fibers/glasses and application of fiber Bragg grating sensors in simultaneous strain and temperature discrimination. Fiber Bragg ...

In this thesis, we explore the four aspects of fiber Bragg grating sensors: mathematical modeling of Fiber Bragg Grating response/spectral characteristics, fabrication using phase mask, application and interrogation. ...

Silver containing chalcogenide glasses have been extensively studied during the last few decades; the main interest in these materials being their electrical conductivity which changes by several orders of magnitude upon ...

Consider (1) -yn1+ q1y1 = (λr11 + µr12)y1 on [0, 1] y’1(0) = cot α1 and = y’1(1) = a1λ + b1 y1(0) y1(1) ...

Two different sets of problems are addressed in this thesis. The first one is on partially observed semi-Markov Games (POSMG) and the second one is on semi-Markov modulated financial market model. In this thesis we study ...
