Studies on Frustrated Spin Chains and Quasi-One-Dimensional Conjugated Carbon Systems
(2018-01-28)
In this thesis, we investigate the entanglement and magnetic properties of frustrated spin systems and correlated electronic properties of conjugated carbon systems.
In chapter 1, we present different approaches to solve ...
Electrochemical Studies Of Polyaniline And Some Of Its Applications
(2010-03-03)
The studies reported in the thesis deal with surface modification of non-platinum metals by coating with electronically conducting polymers, namely, polyanilne (PANI) and polypyrrole (PPY). The oxidation of Г/I2, ...

Materials Chemistry in Search of Energy Materials : Photovoltaics and Photoluminescence
(2017-11-28)
One third of world’s total energy is used in production of electricity and one fifth of the total electricity produced in the world is used in lighting. Hence, the materials that have high potential in the field of ...
Exploring Transition Metal Oxides Towards Development of New Functional Materials : Lithium-ion Battery Cathodes, Inorganic Pigments And Frustrated Magnetic Perovskite Oxides
(2017-10-11)
Transition metals (TMs) are ‘elements whose atoms have partially filled d-shell, or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete d-shell’. In TMs, the d-shell overlaps with next higher s-shell. Most of the TMs exhibit ...
