This thesis is devoted to the investigation of mechanical properties and self-assembly process of materials at the nanoscale. Various nanostructured materials such as nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires and thin films are ...

Thermoelectric (TE) materials directly convert heat energy into electrical energy. The conversion efficiency of the TE devices depends on the performance of the materials. The conversion efficiency of available thermoelectric ...

This thesis work contains electrical transport and low frequency (1/f) noise measurements in ultrathin graphene and Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) field effect transistors (FET). From the measurements, We mainly focus on the ...

Physical properties of materials and their constituents are interrelated. Though the basic structural unit involved also plays a role in deciding the properties, this can be manipulated to a certain extent, by carefully ...
