Excitation Energy Transfer In Donor-Acceptor Systems Involving Metal Nanoparticles, And In Conjugated Polymers
(2013-02-19)
This thesis consists of two parts and nine chapters. The first part (Part I) presents theoretical studies on non-radiative mode of excitation energy transfer (EET) in donor-acceptor (D-A) systems involving metal nanoparticles. ...
Doping And photophysical Properties Of II-VI Semiconductor Nanocrystals
(2010-06-03)
Semiconductor nanocrystals with sizes comparable to the corresponding bulk excitonic diameter exhibit unique size-dependent electronic and optical properties resulting from quantum confinement effect. Such nanocrystals not ...
Synthesis, Structure And Redox Catalytic Properties Of Pt And Pd Ion Substituted Ce1-xMxO2(M= Ti, Zr & Hf) Oxygen Storage Capacity Nano-materials
(2010-09-28)
Three-way catalysis (TWC) involves simultaneous removal of the three pollutants (i.e., CO, NOx, and HCs) which led to the branch of auto-exhaust catalysis. CeO2 has become the main component of TWC catalyst because of its ...
Internal Structure and Self-Assembly of Low Dimensional Materials
(2018-05-01)
The properties of bulk 3D materials of metals or semiconductors are manifested with various length scales(e.g., Bohr excitonic radius, magnetic correlation length, mean free path etc.) and are important in controlling their ...
Functionalized Nanostructures : Iron Oxide Nanocrystals and Exfoliated Inorganic Nanosheets
(2018-05-01)
This thesis consists of two parts. The first part deals with the magnetic properties of Fe3O4 nanocrystals and their possible application in water remediation. The second part is on the delamination of layered materials ...
Modulation of Nanostructures in the Solid and Solution States and under an Electron Beam
(2018-03-26)
Among various nanomaterials, metal nanoparticles are the widely studied ones because of their pronounced distinct properties arising in the nanometer size regime, which can be tailored easily by tuning predominantly their ...
Bio-inspired Materials : Antioxidant and Phosphotriesterase Nanozymes
(2018-01-28)
Bio-inspired or biomimetic chemistry deals with the replication of the nature’s fundamental processes, which can help in understanding the functioning of biological systems and develop novel applications. Although a large ...
