The thesis entitled “In situ crystallography and charge density analysis of phase transitions in complex inorganic sulfates” consists of six chapters. Structural changes exhibited by ferroic and conducting materials are ...

Electronic structure of transition metal oxides has been a subject of intense research since decades due to the wide spectrum of properties that they exhibit, like high temperature superconductivity, metal-insulator ...

The thesis consists of eight chapters of which the first chapter presents a brief overview of inorganic nanostructures. Synthesis and magnetic properties of MnO and NiO nanocrystals are described in Chapter 2, with emphasis ...

The thesis, which contains nine chapters, reports extensive large scale atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies of water structure and dynamics at the surface of an anionic micelle, hydration layer of two ...

Transition metal compounds, especially the oxides, containing dn (0 ≤ n ≤ 10) electronic configuration, constitute the backbone of solid state/materials chemistry aimed at realization of novel materials properties of ...

This thesis presents the results of investigations of the synthesis, structure and physical properties of multiferroic materials. Multiferroics are materials in which two or all three of ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism ...

Hydrogen, nature’s simple and the most abundant element has been in the limelight for the past few decades from the stand point of the so-called hydrogen economy. With a high calorific value (142 MJ/kg) that is three times ...

In this thesis, I report the gas phase infrared spectra of some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) namely 1, 5-, 1, 6-, and 2, 6-dimethyl naphthalenes (DMNs); 2, 4-, 2, 6-, 2, 7-, and 2,8-dimethyl quinolines (DMQs); ...
