Growth Kinetics And Electronic Properties Of Semiconducting Nanocrystals In The Quantum Confined Regime
(2009-03-04)
Properties of nanocrystals are extremely sensitive to their sizes when their sizes are smaller or of the order of the excitonic diameter due to the quantum confinement effect. The interest in this field has been concentrated ...
Noble Metal And Base Metal Ion Substituted Ceo2 And Tio2 : Efficient Catalysts For Nox Abatement
(2009-08-07)
In recent times, as regulations and legislations for exhaust treatment have become more stringent, a major concern in the arena of environmental catalysis is to find new efficient and economical exhaust treatment catalysts. ...
Studies On Direct Methanol And Direct Borohydride Fuel Cells
(2009-03-09)
A fuel cell is an electrochemical power source with advantages of both the combustion engine and the battery. Like a combustion engine, a fuel cell will run as long as it is provided fuel; and like a battery, fuel cells ...
Investigations Of Open-Framework Metal Phosphates, Phosphites And Phosphite-Oxalate Materials
(2009-05-19)

Theoretical And Computer Simulation Studies Of Vibrational Phase Relaxation In Molecular Liquids
(2009-05-18)
In this thesis, theoretical and computer simulation studies of vibrational phase relaxation in various molecular liquids are presented. That includes liquid nitrogen, both along the coexistence line and the critical isochore, ...
Structure, Organization And Phase Transitions In Anchored Alkyl Chain Bilayers In Layered Organic-Inorganic Hybrids
(2009-04-09)
This thesis deals with the conformation and phase-transitions in anchored alkyl chain bilayer assemblies in organic-inorganic hybrids. The alkyl chain bilayers in organic-inorganic hybrids bear a striking resemblances to ...
Phosphorus(III) Ligands Based On The P-N-P Skeleton And Their Transition Metal Complexes
(2009-06-05)
There is considerable current interest in the design and synthesis of new phosphorus ligands and their transition metal complexes in view of their potential applications in homogeneous catalysis. The present study is ...
Biomimetic Studies On Anti-Thyroid Drugs And Thyroid Hormone Synthesis
(2009-05-22)
Thyroxine (T4), the main secretory hormone of the thyroid gland, is produced on thyroglobulin by thyroid peroxidase (TPO)/hydrogen peroxide/iodide system. The synthesis of T4 by TPO involves two independent steps: iodination ...
