A two-dimensional hybrid material with graphene and hexagonal boron (h-BN) domain is considered as viable material for future generations of flexible electronic devices due to the tunable band gap, excellent mechanical and ...

The complexity of the microstructure of the active layer in organic photo- voltaics (OPVs) poses a unique challenge in improving the efficiency of OPV devices. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation provides a direct route ...

The power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells has risen from as low as 3.8% to as high as 19.3% in just five years with yet a projected value of over 20% in the next few years by experimentalists. Such a ...

Most of the relevant research work has addressed the properties of internal solitons in a greatly simplified environment, usually in the framework of different versions of the two layer fluid. The simplest equation of this ...

The study of the structures and properties of organic materials for organic photovoltaic (OPV) applications and their interrelationships is a rapidly growing field of research, involving interdisciplinary efforts at the ...

Most anticancer drugs are polar, cytotoxic and have complicated structures which cause difficulty in their penetration through the cell membrane. This presents a serious problem in chemotherapy. Is it possible to use carbon ...

The possibility of enhancing directed transport for a driven quantum particle in the presence of noise is investigated. Specifically, we deal with cold atoms trapped in an asymmetric optical lattice potential (ratchet ...

In general, it is assumed in some non viscous flows that the flow velocity is constant at a cross-section. In this thesis, If we impose more realistic boundary conditions by, for example, introducing viscosity,and suction ...

Ground State structures of neutral Copper clusters Cu N =3−6 were generated and optimised within the framework of the Density Functional Theory (DFT) using Generalised Gradient Approximation (GGA) and ultrasoft pseudopotential. ...

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells have attracted great attention in the photovoltaic research community in recent years due to its ease of processing, low cost of production, superb light-harvesting ...

Since the appearance of the first wind turbines at the end of the nineteenth century, wind energy has been considered to be a renewable energy source for not just developed countries but also developing countries as well. ...

The thesis presents the modelling and simulation of free running semiconductor laser. The rate equations which were derived on the basis of the fact that there must be a balance between carriers that undergo transition ...

A popular model that have been used to study ferromagnetism is the Ising Model which is an arrangement of spins along a particular direction and with discrete values of + 1 . 1-D Ising model doesn't show a phase transition ...

The ratchet effect is the rectified motion of atoms using an unbiased driving force. By ‘’unbiased’’ we mean to say that the time-average is equal to zero. This can be accomplished experimentally using cold atoms in a ...

The basic understanding of the underlying techniques of growing Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) with a specific chirality is still obscure and needs to be understood so as to properly harness its potentials. Using both Classical ...

The use of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) in the medical treatment of cancer has attracted scientists and engineers with interest in achieving the most financially affordable but yet curative methods of curing ...

Active polar gels are a type of viscoelastic soft material formed by polar filaments which are constantly driven out of equilibrium by the consumption of chemical fuel such as ATP. Following the approach of Voituriez et ...

In this research work, we study and analyse Hindmarsh-Rose neuronal system with time delay. Considering the fast sub-system of the model, all the possible non-negative equilibria are obtained and their local as well as ...

Key to Escherichia coli (E-coli) bacteria survival is its ability to direct its movement to greener pasture and flee harmful environment - also known as chemotaxis. This thesis focuses on the modelling of E-coli chemotaxis ...

Despite the excellent properties of graphene, graphene based electronic devices are yet to be realized, one of the reason for such is the absence of band gap in graphene. Due to its large band gap, hexagonal boron nitride ...
