Axially Symmetric Equivalents Of Three-Dimensional Rf Ion Traps
(2013-09-13)This thesis presents axially symmetric equivalents of three-dimensional rf ion traps. Miniaturization in mass spectrometry has focused on miniaturizing mass analyzers. Decrease in mass analyzer size facilitates reduction ... -
Bounded Analytic Functions On The Unit Disc
(2011-08-09)In this thesis, we have dealt primarily with two function algebras. The first one is the space of all holomorphic functions on the unit disc D in the complex plane which are continuous up to the boundary, denoted by A(D). ... -
Conformation And Charge Transpsort In Conducting Polymers, Carbon Nanotubes And Their Nanocomposites
(2013-05-02)The main motivation in this thesis is to compare the conformation and charge transport in conducting polymers and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and to investigate those physical properties in their combined form of nanocomposites. ... -
Development Of Cu2ZnSnS4/ZnS Thin Film Heterojunction Solar Cells By Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis
(2013-06-06)Semiconductors such as CuInGaSe2 and CdTe have been investigated as absorber layer materials for thin film solar cells since their band gap matches with the solar spectrum. Films as thin as 2m are sufficient for the ... -
Effects Of Disorder On Physical Properties Of Selected Transition Metal Oxides
(2013-02-14)Disorder in materials often brings in new and exotic physical properties along with it. It is thus very important to study different kinds of disorder and their implications on various material properties. In this thesis, ... -
Electron Spin Resonance And Optical Studies On The Conducting Polymer Polyaniline
(2011-07-11)For every phenomenon found in inorganic materials, organic counterparts have been found in the last 50 years. The discovery of metallic conductivity in the inorganic conjugated polymer (SN)x was a forerunner to the discovery ... -
Escape Of High Mass Ions Due To Initial Thermal Energy And Its Implications For RF Trap Design
(2013-05-31)This thesis investigates the loss of high mass ions due to the initial thermal energy in ion trap mass analyzers. It provides an analytical expression for estimating the percentage loss of ions of a given mass at a particular ... -
Exploring Polynomial Convexity Of Certain Classes Of Sets
(2011-07-18)Let K be a compact subset of Cn . The polynomially convex hull of K is defined as The compact set K is said to be polynomially convex if = K. A closed subset is said to be locally polynomially convex at if there ... -
Hand-Movement Prediction Using LFP Data
(2011-08-08)The last decade has seen a surge in the development of Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI) as assistive neural devices for paralysis patients. Current BMI research typically involves a subject performing movements by controlling ... -
Investigating Systematics In The Cosmological Data And Possible Departures From Cosmological Principle
(2013-06-11)This thesis contributes to the field of dark energy and observational cosmology. We have investigated possible direction dependent systematic signal and non-Gaussian features in the supernovae (SNe) Type Ia data. To detect ... -
Ion Assisted Deposition Of HfO2 Thin Films For CMOS Gate Dielectric Applications
(2013-09-13)The scaling down of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) transistors to sub-100nm requires replacement of conventional Silicon dioxide layer with high dielectric constant (K) material for gate dielectric. Among ... -
