Nano-mechanical, optical and structural property correlations in binary, ternary, and quaternary tellurium-based chalcogenide glasses
Over a half century, from the advent of chalcogenide glasses, it was used for various applications like xerography, phase change memories (PCM), solar cells, infrared devices and so on. These applications made use of some ...
Lab Experiment Documenting Growth of Microbes in an Extreme Condition
Bacterial population during 3.2 billion years of early earth was responsible for modifying the greenhouse gas concentration in the early earth. Here we studied the primitive facultative anaerobe E.coli K12, known to contain ...
Processing, Structure and Properties of Friction Stir Process Derived In-situ Nano Composites and Foams
High specific-strength materials with high toughness can reduce the weight of automobile and aerospace components. Lightweight components for these applications are essential, as they can significantly improve fuel efficiency. ...
Techno-Economic Evaluation of Rooftop Photovoltaic Systems in the Indian Context
Problems of greenhouse effect and depletion of conventional resources in the last two decades have resulted in a worldwide exponentially growing photovoltaic market for renewable power generation. The Indian government has ...
Novel Phenomena Associated With Giant Tetragonality in the Ferroelectric BiFeO3-PbTiO3 System
The multiferroic perovskite solid solution xBiFeO3-(1-x)PbTiO3 (BF-PT) exhibits very unique features such as giant tetragonality (c/a ~ 1.19), coexistence of ferroelectric and magnetic order (in certain composition range) ...
Blast Loading on Plain and Perforated Tubes with High Explosives
According to the assessments of the United Nations, there are more than 100 million mines
lying buried in various conflict zones of many countries in the world. As per their assessment,
many thousand casualties happen ...
Matrix cracking in polymer matrix composites under static and fatigue loading
Matrix cracking is the first and most dominant mode of damage in polymer matrix composite (PMC) laminates resulting in significant stiffness degradation under static and fatigue loading. Matrix crack evolution and its ...
Quantum-Continuum Modeling and Simulations of Semiconductor Nanostructures
This thesis proposes a multi-physics model to couple the electrical, mechanical, thermal and quantum mechanical interactions in semiconductor and their heterostructures. Governing differential equations and constitutive ...
Modelling and optimization of novel therapies for HIV and hepatitis C virus infections
Curing infections by HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) have remained a challenge for a long time due to their efficient ways of evading host immune responses and therapies. They do so by rapidly mutating their genomes, which ...
Improvement of High Temperature Strength of Al and Co Alloy by L12 Type Coherent Precipitates
The present work aims at developing a new class of high temperature alloys based on ordered
intermetallic compound that forms coherently with the matrix during solid state transformation.
The chosen intermetallics have ...
