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 NMR spectroscopy as usually practiced in isotropic achiral solvents is unable to differentiate enantiomers, unless the intermolecular diastereomeric interactions are imposed with an enantiomerically pure reagent. Chiral ...

This thesis, entitled “A Study of Photophysics and Photochemistry of I-III-VI2 Nanocrystals” primarily deals with the properties of I-III-VI2 semiconductor nanocrystals composed of earth abundant, environmentally benign ...

The present thesis discusses the beneficial effects of confining biologically relevant molecules inside porous structures of varying morphology and dimensions. Confinement of a biomolecule such as protein, enzymes drugs ...

Abstract The present Thesis discusses various Titanium dioxide (TiO2) - Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) assemblies for efficient harvesting of the solar photon. Inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals such as CdS have attracted ...

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 battery is a companion whose interests are world-wide and whose society has never-ending interests. Batteries have applications in cars to space and there is ever growing addiction to batteries. A battery consists of two ...

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 ...

The thesis entitled "Structural Characterization of Complex Oxides and Sulfates Towards the Design of Photocatalytic and Sodium Ion Conducting Materials" consists of _ve chapters. Chapter 1 gives a brief introductory note ...
