Nanostructured Assemblies Based On Metal Colloids And Monolayers: Preparation, Characterisation And Studies Towards Novel Applications
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-08)Nanoscience dominates virtually every field of science and technology in the 21st century. Nanoparticles are of fundamental interest since they possess unique size- dependent properties (optical, electrical, mechanical, ... -
Nature Of Solute-Solvent Interaction : Effect Of Solvent Polarity On Excited State Structure Of 2,2,2-Trifluroacetophenone And Effect Of Hydrogen Bonding In Hydrated Electron Absorption Spectrum
(2009-09-02)In solution, the environment around the solute is determined solely by the solvent molecules, which are present closer to the solute. This interaction between solute and solvent shell is very crucial for equilibrium structure ... -
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 ... -
New Class of Tricoordinate Boron Based Donor-Acceptor (D-A) Systems Exhibiting External Stimuli Responsive Properties, Delayed Emission and Room Temperature Phosphorescence
The main thrust of this thesis is the design and development of a new class of boron-based acceptors, with a substituent which maintains good electronic coupling between boron and the other substitutes on boron, without ... -
Non-covalent interactions in Crystals and Heterocycles of Sulphur and Selenium
Hydrogen bonding plays a very important role in the fields of both chemistry and biology. Conventionally it is represented as D-H---A, where D is the donor atom, A is the acceptor atom and H is the hydrogen atom. It has ... -
Nonequilibrium dynamics and thermodynamics of some single-particle activity-induced diffusive systems
In the mesoscopic world, diffusion is a ubiquitous process and it is usually explained by the Einstein’s theory of Brownian motion (BM). However, in the biological systems, some peculiar dynamical behaviors are observed ... -
Nonequilibrium Fluctuations, Quantum Optical Responses and Thermodynamics of Molecular Junctions
(2018-02-06)Mankind has come a long way since the invention of wheel to accessing information in the quintillionth of a second. At the heart of every invention ever made, there has been only one objective, to ease the way of living. ... -
Nuclear quantum effects in gas-phase systems with large amplitude motions: A study of 2-fluoroethanol, ethylene glycol, and H3O2
This thesis explores the role of nuclear quantum effects in selected systems containing large amplitude motion through path integral simulations. Recent works have explored molecules with such floppy modes and examined ... -
