The journey of 2D materials when successful isolation of monolayer graphene from bulk graphite was demonstrated by A.K. Geim et al [1]. 2D materials provide the thinnest platform to make ultrathin electronic devices ...

The study of light and its interaction with matter has fascinated the scientific field right from its discovery. In 1864, James Clerk Maxwell established the electromagnetic (EM) theory of light, which couples the electricity ...

Until mid of 1990s there were two kind of porous materials, namely inorganic materials and carbon based materials. In case of microporous inorganic solids, the largest two subclasses of porous inorganic solids are ...

This thesis is unified more by the ubiquity and versatility of the use of inelastic light scattering (ILS) spectroscopy coupled with the two thermodynamic variables (pressure and temperature) within the realm of condensed ...
