This thesis shows that when two organic compounds A and B are cocrystallized and the A∙∙∙B interactions are neither completely isotropic nor anisotropic enough to cause the formation of a stoichiometric cocrystal AxBy, ...

work is focused on: (i) Development of new fast and sensitivity enhanced NMR methods in solution state and their application to metabolomics and (ii) development of novel NMR methods in solution state for the rapid resonance ...

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanoparticles, where carriers are confined in regions smaller than a few tens of nanometers. The physics governing the behavior of these nano structures are fundamentally different from ...

The aggregation of molecular materials plays a central role in determining their functional properties. In the aggregated state, conjugated chromophores may exhibit enhanced emission, in comparison to their dilute ...

This thesis is an effort to understand electronic structure and optical properties of low-dimensional conjugated molecules such as polyatomic aromatic hydrocarbons and nanoribbons composed of perylene monomers in addition ...

Nanomaterials have been a topic of extensive research for the past several decades. This is because their properties act as a bridge between their bulk and atomic counterparts. Broadly, nanoparticles can be characterized ...

The broad objective of this thesis involves computationally modeling protein aggregation with special emphasis on the role of cosolvents and misfolded states. Chapter 1 contrasts the effect of biologically relevant co-solvents ...

A smaller sized dopant replacing a larger sized element in a compound creates chemical pressure, resulting in a contraction of the lattice parameter and likewise a “negative” pressure is created by substitution of larger ...

Depending on the system and phenomena of interest, the thesis has been partitioned into three major parts. The first part is on the theoretical infrared spectroscopic studies and vibrational phase relaxation of supercritical ...

The thesis entitled as “Transport, Relaxation and Line shape in Quantum Dissipative Systems with Applications to Photosynthesis and Conjugated Polymers” has been divided into five major parts and ten chapters. In Part ...
