This thesis deals with the research work carried out on the properties and applications such as GaN nanoparticles, Graphene etc. Chapter 1 of the thesis gives introduction to nanomaterials and various aspects of the ...

The present work has been focused on the growth of Group III-nitride epitaxial layers and nanostructures on Si (111) substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Silicon is regarded as a promising substrate for ...

White light emitting diodes (LED) have drawn increasing attention due to their low energy consumption, high efficiency and potential to become primary lighting source by replacing conventional light sources. White light ...

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in honeycomb lattice. Over a long period of time it was treated as a hypothetical material to understand the properties of other allotropes of carbon, such as graphite, ...
