Studies on Frustrated Spin Chains and Quasi-One-Dimensional Conjugated Carbon Systems
(2018-01-28)
In this thesis, we investigate the entanglement and magnetic properties of frustrated spin systems and correlated electronic properties of conjugated carbon systems.
In chapter 1, we present different approaches to solve ...
Probing Mechanical Properties Of Molecular Crystals with Nanoindentation : Applications to Crystal Engineering
(2018-06-05)
Crystal engineering is widely applied in the design of new solids with desired physical and chemical properties based on an understanding of intermolecular interactions in terms of crystal packing. The understanding of ...
A Few Case Studies of Polymer Conductors for Lithium-based Batteries
(2018-01-17)
The present thesis demonstrates and discusses polymeric ion and mixed ion-electron conductors for rechargeable batteries based on lithium viz. lithium-ion and lithium-sulphur batteries. The proposed polymer ion conductors ...
Materials Chemistry in Search of Energy Materials : Photovoltaics and Photoluminescence
(2017-11-28)
One third of world’s total energy is used in production of electricity and one fifth of the total electricity produced in the world is used in lighting. Hence, the materials that have high potential in the field of ...
Exploring Transition Metal Oxides Towards Development of New Functional Materials : Lithium-ion Battery Cathodes, Inorganic Pigments And Frustrated Magnetic Perovskite Oxides
(2017-10-11)
Transition metals (TMs) are ‘elements whose atoms have partially filled d-shell, or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete d-shell’. In TMs, the d-shell overlaps with next higher s-shell. Most of the TMs exhibit ...
Synthesis And Self-Assembly Properties of Chiral Diketopyrrolopyrrole Based Copolymers
(2017-10-05)
Applications of conjugated polymer (CPs) in optoelectronic devices are critically depend on nature of thin film morphology. In thin film of CPs, the distribution of conjugation length is highly heterogeneous because of ...
Structural and Dynamic Studies of Protein-Nanomaterial Interactions
(2017-11-28)
My thesis is divided into five chapters, starting with a general introduction in first chapter and sample preparation and protein-NMR assignment techniques in second chapter. The remaining three chapters focus on three ...
