The objective of this thesis is to investigate the hydrogen storage properties of various metal decorated materials by using rst principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). An increasing energy ...

Being sustainable is the prime target of most of the companies around the world. According to Brundtland, sustainable development should meet the need of the present generation without compromising the ability of future ...

While the sun is the principal energy source for our earth, energy in the form of sunlight has little value in our modern global economy. To obtain food and fuel, society relies upon biomass to convert light energy into ...

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) or “brittle bone disease” is a group of genetic disorders, caused by the collagen deficiency in connective tissues. The collagen deficiency in bones results in low bone mass and reduced bone ...

Organophosphates and nitro explosive compounds are highly toxic and caused various environmental and human health issues. Organophosphates based pesticides are primarily used in agriculture to remove pest, weeds, and ...

Chapter 1: Introduction Heterocycles are the largest division of organic compound that contains at least one or two heteroatoms in a ring. The presence of heteroatom in the heterocyclic compound gives them many significant ...

Conventional floating gate non-volatile memory (NVM) has been a dominating NVM device until the date. Since the concept of semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) based NVM was first proposed, it has been widely explored as ...

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are well known to exhibit a unique combination of optical, electrical, chemical and mechanical properties. In addition, the high surface area to volume ratio of CNTs makes them an ideal candidate ...

The thesis presents investigations on fundamental research topics and proposes new analytical results for conduction and space charges considering, injection, diffusion and structural features in a comprehensive manner. ...

Fracture and fatigue failure of metals is a multiscale phenomenon. The nucleation and propagation of short cracks, originating with the atomic level separation of metal atoms, is dependent on various material specific ...
