Discovery of grapheme has paved way for experimental realization of many physical phenomena such as massless Dirac fermions, quantum hall effect and zero-field conductivity. Search for other two dimensional (2D) materials ...

Lead based materials have shown to be important materials showing high piezoelectricity, colossal dielectric constant, ferroelectricity along with their good mechanical behaviour and resistance to corrosion. As a result, ...

The thesis consists of three parts of which Part 1 describes the investigations of borocarbonitrides. In this Part, Section 1.1 provides the synthesis and characterization of different compositions of borocarbonitrides. ...
