Spin-selective interactions between electrons and chiral molecules, described collectively by the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, have garnered increasing attention. The history of this burgeoning field, the predominant experimental techniques that have been emplo…
Studies of the kinetics of ion-molecule reactions associated with isobutane chemical-ionization mass spectrometry have shown that many of these reactions proceed via the formation of a collision complex which undergoes either unimolecular decomposition to reactants, or collision…
Covering the latest technologies, Nanotechnology in eco-efficient construction provides an authoritative guide to the role of nanotechnology in the development of eco-efficient construction materials and sustainable construction. The book contains a special focus on applications…
Role of Plant Growth Promoting Microorganisms in Sustainable Agriculture and Nanotechnology explores PGPMs (actinomycetes, bacteria, fungi and cyanobacteria) and their multidimensional roles in agriculture, including their increasing applications in sustainable agriculture. In a…

This thesis describes development of a novel technique of single shot time resolved four wave mixing spectroscopy. The technique is based on geometrical mapping of temporal delays between ultrashort pulses onto geometrical axes of the region of intersection between broad beams, …
Present advances in laser technology allow the production of ultrashort (<∼5 fs, approaching single cycle at 800 nm), intense tabletop laser pulses. At these high intensities laser-matter interactions cannot be described with perturbation theory since multiphoton processes are i…
Organic semiconductors have received a great deal of attention in recent years due to their optoelectronical properties and their potential applications in industry. In this thesis, resonance Raman calculations of a family of organic semiconductor dyes: perylene tetracarboxylic …
Radiative double electron capture (RDEC) is a one-step process in ion-atom collisions occurring when two target electrons are captured to a bound state of the projectile simultaneously with the emission of a single photon. The emitted photon has approximately double the energy o…
