Light-matter interactions at the nanoscale have been widely studied over the past few decades. In particular, the interaction of light with asymmetric nanostructures has harbored the interests of chemists, biologists and ...

The genome of an organism encompasses the unique set of genetic instructions for every individual in a species. The genome, in totality, guides the course of evolution, development, genetic and epigenetic growth factors ...

Organic photovoltaic devices have evinced interest due to the prospects of integrating strongly absorbing semiconducting polymers in flexible, light weight device platforms with ease of fabrication. However, there are ...

Wireless communication has become an integral part of human life, and one of the dominating applications in today’s world. Mobile communication devices are the largest consumer electronic group in terms of volume. In 2007, ...

Sparse Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines (Sparse BLAS) is an important library. Sparse BLAS includes three levels of subroutines. Level 1, Level2 and Level 3 Sparse BLAS routines. Level 1 Sparse BLAS routines do computations ...

This thesis discusses the design and development of a technique which focuses on visualization of nanoscale structures using a regular bright-field optical microscope without the need of any additional fluorescent tags. ...

The aim of the studies presented in this thesis was to explore various materials and platforms for the detection of DNA in order to develop a cost-effective, repeatable and reproducible electrical/electrochemical DNA sensor. ...

Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) has become a powerful method for detection of diverse analytes ranging from solution of picomolar concentration to single molecule and single cell analysis. The distinctive nature ...

Transfer of mass energy is at the heart of many physical processes that form the backbone of modern science and technology. Transport studies help in understanding these processes and reveal the underlying physics that ...

In tandem solar cells two or more solar cells share the solar spectrum. The structure consists of two sub-cells on top of each other, with the top cell absorbing the blue photons and the bottom cells absorbing the red ...
