In general, the magnetization of a solid is governed by the spins of the electrons, while the charges of electrons or ions are responsible for electric polarization and thus they can be controlled by applying external ...

Classical inorganic salts (e.g. NaCl and KCl) possess high melting temperatures, which inhibit their use as solvents or as reaction media. However, salts composed of organic cations are liquids at relatively moderate ...

Perovskite oxides of the composition La1-xCaxMnO3 (LCM) have been investigated for the thermochemical splitting of H2O and CO2 to produce H2 and CO respectively. The study was carried out in comparison with La1-xSrxMnO3, ...

In the Semiconductor Age in last 50 years, our views, our attitudes and our way of living have been modified by the research and technological advancements made in electronic materials. Tools and gadgets like personal ...

The prefix nano has originated from the Latin word nanus, meaning dwarf [1]. According to the dictionary definitions, nano refers to one?billionth [2] and hence is used to designate extreme smallness. It is hard to imagine ...

Transition metal oxides constitute one of the most important classes of solids, exhibiting a wide range of structures and fascinating properties originating from a strong coupling among spin, orbital, charge and lattice ...

Supramolecular chemistry is coined as chemistry beyond the moleculeand the chemistry of the non-covalent bond [13]. Association of two or more chemical species via weak intermolecular forces leads to structures of higher ...

The technological advancement to obtain high brightness sources is an ongoing and an important aspect of human development. From lighting the first fire millenia ago, mankind has been on a never ending quest to better ...

Low dimensional systeM.S. have got tremendous impetus in last few decades due to their interesting and exotic properties. These properties arise when one or more spatial dimensions are reduced to less than a nanometre.This ...

In optoelectronic applications, a transparent conductor plays a very important role. It allows photons as well as electricity to pass through, be it a situation involving a display device or an energy device. Accordingly, ...
