Investigations into the Synthesis, Structural, Dielectric and Optical Properties of Multifunctional M2NaNb5O15 (M=Ba, Sr) Nanocrystals and Glass Nanocrystal Composites
The physical properties of borate-based glasses comprising crystallites of inorganic materials (polar) at different length scales have become increasingly important owing to their importance in the design and fabrication ...
Catalytic Studies with Ru and Ir Half-sandwich Complexes Bearing NHC Ligands
The thesis describes the study of arene-tethered and untethered Ru half-sandwich complexes as catalysts in the addition of hydroelements (E‒H, E = H, B, Si) across unsaturated C-C, C-N and C-O bonds and transfer hydrogenation ...
Defect Engineering and Doping of 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenides: A First-Principles Study
The foundation of the electronic industry is based on n-type and p-type semiconductor materials,
which is obtained by the ubiquitously present point defects. The presence of defects affects
the electronic and optoelectronic ...
Electrochemical Investigations Related to the Next Generation Sodium and Potassium Batteries
The commercialization of Li-ion battery (LIB) in 1990s by Sony Corporation has led to its applications in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, cameras, laptop computers, etc. Initially, the energy density of ...
Investigations of Chalcogen-Cathodes and a Carbonitride-Anode for Alkali-Based Rechargeable Batteries
In this thesis, we have attempted to understand the working principle of Li(Na)-S(Se) battery
and following such understandings we have attempted towards the design of various S(Se)-
cathode materials for the alkali based ...
InGaN Based 2D, 1D and 0D Heterostructures on Si(111) by Plasma Assisted Molecular Beam Epitaxy
The present research work focuses on the growth and characterization of group III-Nitride (InGaN) epitaxial layers as well as nanostructures on Si(111) substrates. The growth system used in this study was a plasma-assisted ...
A New Class of Boron-Nitrogen Compounds : A Rational Approach for the Design and Development of Smart Materials
Replacing nonpolar homodiatomic C=C unit in a fully carbon -conjugated system with an isoelectronic polar heterodiatomic B-N fragment is an active area of research. The first BN/CC isosterism was demonstrated seven decades ...
Exploring New Designs of Amphiphilic Graft Copolymers and Forays into 2D Polymers
Amphiphilic polymers, wherein two or more immiscible polymeric segments are connected covalently, form an interesting class of macromolecules that can self-assemble in block selective solvents as well as in bulk, to exhibit ...
Controlled Nanoscale Growth of 2D Materials and Their Heterostructures
Unique ranges of properties of two dimensional (2D) materials foster new opportunities in many scientific and technological fields. Beyond pristine 2D materials, their heterostructures provide more possibilities in real ...
