This thesis describes the controlled immobilization of molecules between two cuboidal metal nanoparticles by means of a self-assembly method to control the quantum plasmon resonances.

Recognized as an outstanding contribution to the field, this thesis is a comprehensive exploration of physical phenomena in nano clay systems. It features the author's data on the first experimental observation of a system with high aspect ratio nanodiscs.

This title examines orbital evolution, gravitational wave radiation and merger remnant of the black hole-neutron star binary merger in full general relativity. It clarifies formation of massive accretion disks for short-hard gamma-ray bursts.

This study enhances microbial and chemical catalyses in bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) by designing and manufacturing new materials, elucidating the catalytic mechanisms, and applying them in wastewater treatment.As a novel environmental biotechnology, BESs can be used for treating wastewater and generating power, producing value-added products, and detoxifying contaminants. However, the catalytic efficiency of the electrode reaction is low these systems. 

This book addresses new ways to optimize the fabrication process and performance of iron-based superconducting wires and tapes based on the powder-in-tube (PIT) method. This book will greatly benefit all students, researchers, and technical personnel who work in superconducting materials, applied superconductivity, and the power industry.

This thesis describes in-depth theoretical efforts to understand the reaction mechanism of graphite and lithium metal as anodes for next-generation rechargeable batteries.

In addition to critical new results on the direct growth of 2D heterostructures, it also details growth mechanisms, surface science, and device applications of "epi-grade" 2D semiconductors, which are essential to low-power electronics, as well as for extending Moore's law.

This thesis investigates the behavior of two candidate materials (a-SiO2 and MgO) for applications in fusion (e.g., the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor ITER) and Generation IV fission reactors.

The measurement is performed in an invariant mass region of 116 GeV to 1500 GeV as a function of invariant mass and absolute rapidity of the l^+l^-- pair, and as a function of invariant mass and pseudorapidity separation of the l^+l^-- pair.

In this book, the equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of continuous phase transitions are studied in various systems, with a special emphasis on understanding how well-established universal traits at equilibrium may be extended into the dynamic realm, going beyond the paradigmatic Kibble-Zurek mechanism of defect formation.

This book sheds new light on the dynamical behaviour of electron spins in molecules containing two unpaired electrons (i.e.

This book examines Au (I, III) complexes that selectively attack and inhibit zinc finger proteins (ZnFs) for potential therapeutic use.

This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge as well as offers significant theoretical contributions and policy implications.

This thesis presents recent developments in magnetic coupling phenomena of ferrimagnetic rare-earth transition-metal Tb-Fe alloys and coupled systems consisting of ferri-/ferromagnetic heterostructures.

Martin Stein's thesis describes a novel methodology for natural product discovery. The author demonstrates the extraordinary value of this approach by the successful isolation of two potent inhibitors of the pharmaceutically relevant proteasome core particle from the insect pathogen photorhabdus luminescens.

This book demonstrates the power of isotopic enrichment for high-resolution spectroscopic characterization. It records properties of transition metal centers in silicon with unprecedented accuracy.

This thesis presents the first measurements of jets in relativistic heavy ion collisions as reported by the ATLAS Collaboration. Also, a series of jet suppression measurements are presented, which provide quantitative constraints on theoretical models of jet quenching.

This thesis addresses the coordination chemistry and reactivity of copper and gold complexes with a focus on the elucidation of (i) the metal-mediated activation of -bonds and (ii) the migratory insertion reaction.

By using phenomenological information to constrain the input structure functions, this important but previously poorly understood radiative correction is determined at the kinematics of the parity-violating experiment, QWEAK, to a degree of precision more than twice that of the previous best estimate.

In this thesis, the author investigates the biophysical basis of the local field potential (LFP) as a way of gaining a better understanding of its underlying physiological mechanisms.

This book develops a detailed, quantitative theory of NMR 1/T1 relaxation rates and shows how they could be used to measure the speed at which energy travels in a wide range of magnetic materials.

Using three classes of polymer composites as illustrative examples, this book shows that the interactions of components can cause unpredictable structural effects, ultimaltely leading to a weakening of the material, where a reinforcement was expected.

This book mainly investigates the precision predictions on the signal of new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) scheme. The potential of the LHC to discover the signal of dark matter associated production with a photon is studied after including next-to-leading order QCD corrections.

This book details efficient synthetic approaches for biologically active compounds. It describes novel methodologies for highly efficient construction of functionalized heterocycles by palladium-catalyzed domino cyclization of allenes and related compounds.

This thesis focuses on the energy, chemical and carbon implications of diverse wastewater treatment alternatives, and offers effective solutions for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to achieve sustainability goals.

The region with M (the mass difference between stop and neutralino) < 70 GeV is excluded for the first time at stop mass of less than 210 GeV. The author also excludes the signals with M > 120 GeV up to 600 GeV of stop mass with neutralino mass of less than 280 GeV.
