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 ...
Under the in-situ light-harvesting by green sulfur bacteria Chlorobium tepidum, a photon
from sun light is absorbed by pigments of thin chlorosome antenna due to its high
absorption co-e cient. Subsequently, this excitation ...
What sustains life or how living things originate from the non-living things is among
the most challenging problems before the scienti c community. A biological cell is assumed
as the smallest unit of life. The multiple ...
The study focuses on phonology and sociolinguistics of Kanauji spoken in Kanpur Nagar of Uttar Pradesh. Kanauji, takes its name from town of Kannauj– the historic and one of the most ancient cities of India, is one of the ...
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 ...
Important aspects of water behavior occur at interfaces as well as in the bulk media. The
chemical, physical and biological behaviors of water media are different at the interfacial
regions and in the bulk aqueous systems. ...
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 ...
The present thesis reports the influencing role of dissolved ions in a polar fluid on its evaporation dynamics, and the nature in which the same may be modulated by induced electro and magneto-advection. The evaporation ...
Thick copper (Cu) claddings/coatings with near bulk Cu properties have been recommended for plasma-facing components inside the Vacuum Vessel (VV) of the Tokamak Reactors for a smooth operation. Work is in progress in the ...
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. ...
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 ...
Quantification of clinically relevant biomolecules holds significant importance for ensuring better diagnostics and therapeutics. Moreover, accurate and reliable determination of biomolecules remains crucial for understanding ...
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 ...
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 ...
Ion beam sputtering of a solid surface has the potential to create rich varieties of
nanoscale periodic patterns by varying the beam parameters. This bottom-up approach
of nanopatterning has been serving as an easy and ...
In heavy-ion induced reactions, the sub-barrier fusion cross-sections are enhanced as compared
to the predictions of the one-dimensional barrier penetration model (1-D BPM).
The enhancement in sub-barrier fusion has been ...
Since the last two centuries, thermal machines have been studied extensively. Thermal
mechanics have a major in
uence on the development of the modern society that
started with the invention of a steam engine during the ...
The present thesis primarily focusses on the study of structure of unit group of group algebras. We
aim at obtaining information about conjugacy classes in the unit group of various modular group
algebras. Further, we ...
