The thesis entitled “New Supramolecular Ion Sensing Probes and their Application in the Detection of Environmentally Relevant Ions” deals with the design and synthesis of several small molecular probes which can specifically ...

The results of an investigation carried out on certain pattern recognition aspects of a class of two-dimensional line drawings and three-dimensional objects are reported in this thesis. The motivation for the proposed ...

In past two decades and more, III-N based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) have generally used GaN as the channel layer. During this period, the quest for operating it at higher frequencies has resulted in the ...

This thesis presents results of novel methodologies applied to oriented systems. Both pure liquid crystalline materials as well as molecules oriented in liquid crystalline matrices have been studied. In particular this ...

Conducting and semiconducting polymers, consisting of delocalized π-electrons, have been studied for the past three decades. These materials have shown novel physical properties with interesting applications in batteries, ...

The experiments described in this chapter are important in the context of applications mentioned in section 2.2, viz., (i) analysis of spectra of oriented molecules and (ii) use of liquid crystals for measurement of spinning ...

The study of molecular dynamics in selenates and plumbates of the R?MX? family has revealed a few interesting features, like the small?angle torsional oscillations of the whole ion, a number of phase transitions and the ...
