Molecule-based magnetic materials have been a popular choice in recent times, to generate multifunctional materials1. An inherent property in such systems is molecular bistability which enables a system to interchange ...

In my thesis I have delved into studying nanoparticle assemblies that can be applied to different types of applications. For example, certain types of nanoparticles can be utilized as quantum light sources or a different ...

The thesis presents theoretical and computer simulation studies of dynamics in several complex systems, namely, electrolyte solutions, aqueous binary mixtures, nanoconfined binary mixtures, polymer dimerization, and ...

Quantum mechanics relies on self-adjoint or Hermitian operators, ensuring real eigenenergies and preserving probability via a unitary time evolution [1]. However, this applies strictly to closed systems. In open systems, ...

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 ...

According to independent electron band structure theories, transition metal oxides (TMOs) with partially filled 3d valence band are predicted to be metallic in nature. Though in reality, most of them are insulators. Mott ...

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 ...

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMB) employing inorganic solid electrolytes (ISE) in conjunction with lithium metal anode and intercalation cathode are considered among the most promising alternatives for Li-ion ...

To mitigate the adverse environmental effects of burning fossil fuels, it became necessary to explore alternative ‘clean’ renewable energy sources to meet the ever-increasing energy demands. While silicon-based solar cell ...

Perovskites with the general chemical formula ABX3 can be categorized into oxides and halides depending on the nature of the X anion. 3D organic-inorganic halide perovskites are extensively studied in the context of solar ...
