To mitigate the adverse environmental effects of burning fossil fuels, it became necessary to explore alternative ‘clean’ renewable energy sources to meet the ever-increasing energy demands. While silicon-based solar cell ...

Perovskites with the general chemical formula ABX3 can be categorized into oxides and halides depending on the nature of the X anion. 3D organic-inorganic halide perovskites are extensively studied in the context of solar ...

Modern life without magnetic materials is almost impossible to imagine. Mobile phones, telecommunication, navigation, computer, television, credit cards, medical equipment, data storage devices, and sensors are an integral ...

A magnetic system usually orders ferro- or anti-ferromagnetically at temperatures comparable to interaction strength between the spins. Moreover, an interacting spin system tends to order with the increase of dimensionality ...

Over the past few decades, Raman spectroscopy has found enormous applications in biology and medicine. Raman micro-spectroscopy is highly sensitive to the structure and composition of molecules and their surrounding moieties ...

In this thesis, I use the quantum mode coupling theory (QMCT) formulation to study the dynamics in a supercooled liquid to understand how quantum fluctuations affect the liquid-glass transition. I calculate the Kubo-transformed ...

Separation of molecular mixtures will often require in chemistry, biology, physics and material science. Existing methods of separation can at best yield a separation factor of 10^4 . They also incur huge expenditure of ...

This thesis is a record of the research I have carried out over the last five years to understand a selection of problems in the broad area of single-molecule physics. These problems cover four broad themes: (i) dynamically ...

In summary, we have designed and synthesized three halogenated derivatives of 1,9- pyrazoloanthrone. The involvement of halogen bonding provides highly directional interactions in the binding pocket and hence demonstrates ...

In summary, this thesis provides the following outcomes: a) Formulation of novel powder-binder combination for 3D powder printing of resorbable bone-tissue scaffold. b) The effect of post-processing approach on the macro ...
