Probing hydrogen bonding interactions and proton transfer in proteins
(2006-07)
Scope and Method of Study: Hydrogen bonding is a fundamental element in protein structure and function. Breaking a single hydrogen bond may impair the stability of a protein. It is therefore important to probe dynamic ...
Phenomenology of extra dimensions
(2006-07)
Scope and Method of Study: In this thesis, we propose three different methods to look for the existence of extra dimensions as predicted by the Universal Extra Dimensions (UED) with fat brane scenario. After a brief ...
Supersymmetry, grand unification and flavor symmetry
(2006-07)
In this thesis I have presented the findings of my research pursued during my Ph.D. study. The purpose of this thesis was to study different theoretical ideas in high energy physics model building addressed primarily towards ...
Investigating optical atom traps for Bose-Einstein condensate
(2006-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research was to make a Bose Einstein condensate (BEC) of Rb87 atoms using an all optical method. Specific attention was given to replacing the traditional magnetic traps with ...
Theoretical studies of excited state electron transfer between iron-porphyrin and trinitrotoluene
(2006-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to find and better understand the degradation of trinitrotoluene (TNT) by way of the photocatalyst iron-tetraphenyl-porphyrin-sulfonate (FeTPPS) by looking at a ...
Cavity-enhanced evanescent-wave chemical sensing using microresonators
(2006-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research was to examine fused silica microresonators into which light was evanescently coupled into whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) using a tapered optical fiber. The high ...
Dynamics of kicked laser cooled rubidium atoms
(2006-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research was to use laser cooling techniques to cool a sample of rubidium 87 atoms and pulse the cold atoms with an off-resonant standing wave of light. Among the objectives ...
