During the last few years the scientific interest in chalcogenides glasses has been provoked on account of their properties and new application possibilities. These materials exhibit electrical and optical properties, which ...

Soft condensed matter (SCM) systems are ubiquitous in nature. SCM systems contain mesoscopic structures in the size range 10 nm to 1 am that are held together by weak entropic forces. These materials are therefore easily ...

Availability of amorphous semiconductors in the form of high quality multilayers provide potential applications in the field of micro- and optoelectronics. Although the misfit problems in amorphous multilayers (AML) are ...

This thesis deals with the studies of magnetization and electrical transport properties of iron nanoparticles embedded in the carbon matrix. The synthesis and characteristics of the nanoparticle systems studied, are also ...
