Mechanistic Understanding of Organic Solar Cells: A Detailed Investigation on Role of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer, Dielectric Constant and Exciton Dynamics
Organic solar cells (OSC) have been emerging as promising energy harvesting technology because of their low-cost fabrication, semitransparency, solution processability and ability to be produced in large scale using ... -
Metal Ion Mediated Riboswitch Folding and Cognate Ligand Sensing
Riboswitches are noncoding RNA molecules that can control gene expression upon cognate ligand binding. Riboswitches are primarily present in bacteria and are crucial for bacteria's survival, which makes riboswitches ... -
Metal Sulphide Based Semiconductors for Solar Photon Energy Harvesting
Sun light is a relatively infinite source of energy available on the earth compared to all other renewable and non-renewable energy sources put together. Harvesting solar photons in an effective and efficient manner can ... -
Metal-insulator transitions in transition metal chalcogenides and oxides investigated by electron spectroscopies
In conclusion, we have investigated the electronic structure of hexagonal and millerite phases of NiS, using various electron spectroscopic techniques to elucidate the underlying electronic structure. Using high-resolution ... -

Molecular Approaches and Structural Insights into Correlated Triplet Pair Dynamics in Intramolecular Singlet Fission
Singlet Fission (SF) is a bichromophoric process whereby a singlet exciton is converted to two triplet excitons through an overall spin-conserved process. The last decade has seen an upsurge in SF research driven by its ... -
Molecular dynamics of the sorption and diffusion behaviour of spherical sorbates in the confined region of zeolites Y and A
The sorbate–zeolite RDFs and sorbate–zeolite energy distribution functions suggest that the sorbates are largely localized inside the cages at the lowest temperature (188 K) studied. At low temperature, the sorbate prefers ... -
Molecular Dynamics Studies of Diffusion in Confined Regions
Diffusion of guest molecules under confinement of zeolites shows many interesting properties due to guest-host interactions. This thesis explores some of these interesting behaviours relating to the diffusion of guest ... -
Molecular Simulations Of Temperature Induced Disorder And Pressure Induced Ordering In Organic Molecular Crystals
(2007-09-05)Crystallographically solids with well defined crystal structures are normally assumed to be highly ordered. However, it is not uncommon to find considerable degree of disorder amongst many of these crystalline substances. ... -
