More, Swapnil. "Strain engineering of 2D NEMS for resonant sensing." Thesis, 2023. https://etd.iisc.ac.in/handle/2005/6160.

Abstract:
2D material-based nanoelectromechanical systems have emerged as excellent tools for force measurement with extreme sensitivity levels. Most sensing methods with 2D nanoelectromechanical (2D NEMS) systems utilize frequency tuning of the resonant mode in response to external stimuli. However, the interaction of the harsh external stimulus with the delicate 2D NEMS limited these devices’ utility only in the research labs. We propose a fabrication and packaging method for 2D NEMS devices to extend their application outside the research labs. Under the proposed scheme, the 2D NEMS is coupled to the

Abstract:
Quantitative diffusion analysis in multicomponent metallic systems has been a formidable task historically and despite decades of research, most of the diffusivity estimations were limited to interdiffusion and some intrinsic diffusion coefficients in binary systems and interdiffusion coefficients in a few ternary systems until recently. The experimental complications associated with the need to intersect (n-1) serpentine diffusion paths in the n dimensional space for determining the 〖(n-1)〗^2 interdiffusion coefficients lead to various approaches like average diffusivity, square root diffusiv

Biomedical research aims to gain deeper insights into the mechanisms of human pathophysiology to develop improved therapies and diagnostics. Despite significant advances made in the understanding and treatment of human diseases, many bottlenecks persist in successful clinical translation. Conventional culture techniques and animal models suffer from various limitations that fail to recapitulate human physiology and impede the clinical translation of therapies. Among various human diseases, cardiovascular diseases account for the highest number of deaths worldwide. Similarly, skeletal muscle di

Abstract:
Over 400 million patients suffer from urinary bladder-associated physiological disorders globally, which often necessitate surgical intervention for a reconstructive procedure. The current gold standard for bladder reconstruction, an autologous graft, is proven not to be an ideal substitute in clinics. Such unmet clinical needs drive the continuous surge for structural and functional substitutes of urinary tissues, including ureters, bladder-wall, and urethra. Against this backdrop, the present dissertation explores a biomaterial-based, functionalised alloplastic platform for urological

Abstract:
The need and demand for continuous high-speed, energy-efficient hardware advancement is undisputed. Traditional computing system with von Neumann architecture leads to high energy consumption and latency due to a huge amount of data transfer between the separated memory unit and the logic unit. In response to this discrepancy, extensive research has been conducted to develop brain-inspired electronic devices that can provide alternate computing platforms needed for implementing hardware neural networks.

Abstract:
Heat conduction plays a key role and is linked to the underneath lattice structure. The heat transfer in soft matter materials like DNA and polymers is seldom understood and is deeply linked to the geometry and functional groups in the molecule. Also, probing thermal conduction in shorter length scales using computations gives us a fundamental understanding of the link between structure and phenomena with respect to heat transfer. DNA satisfies the low thermal conductivity requirements for building molecular thermoelectric devices. This was a motivation for this study. Using this motivation, t

Search for clean and renewable energy resources has driven recent interest in designing thermoelectric materials that convert the waste heat to useful electricity. High performance thermoelectric materials require excellent electronic transport and favorable thermal transport, simultaneously. Given the interdependence of various transport parameters, it is daunting to achieve desirable performance. We attempt to address some of these challenges using density functional theory in combination with machine-learning based approaches. We first report the decoupling of Seebeck coefficient and electr

Abstract:
The discovery of LiFePO4 cathode for Li-ion battery ushered intensive study on polyanionic high-voltage battery insertion materials. Polyanionic materials offer rich crystal chemistry, robust framework, voltage tunability, and high redox potential based on the inductive effect due to the polyanionic unit [(XO4)mn-, X = S, P, Si, W, Mo, etc.] [1]. Among them, SO4-based polyanionic systems have the advantage of higher redox potential and ease/versatility of low temperature synthesis. In this spirit, I have investigated bisulfate [A2-xM(SO4)2: A= Li, Na, K; x= 0,1] and hydroxysulfate [AMS

Abstract:
The past years have seen an increasing interest in high-efficient thermoelectric materials because of their promising application to harvest the widely distributed waste heat. Realizing high-efficient TE materials into actual devices remains a challenge. The suitability of thermoelectric material is judged by a dimensionless parameter called thermoelectric figure-of-merit, zT. The efficiency of a thermoelectric (TE) device depends on material parameters and, to a large extent, on joints/contacts these semiconducting materials form with metallic conductors for completing an electrical circuit.

Breath based Diagnostics (BbD) can enable a paradigm shift in the Point-of-Care Diagnostic (PoCD) devices. Exhaled human breath has been demonstrated to contain over 2000 volatile organic and inorganic compounds, some of which report marked change in concentration under diseases conditions. A sensitive, selective, cost effective and portable gas sensing system could thus non-invasively diagnose multiple diseases from a single breath sample. However, there is a need to develop highly sensitive gas sensors with very low limit of detection (LLoD) down to ppb to ppt and high selectivity to meet th

High-efficiency power cycles for concentrating solar power (CSP) technology such as air or supercritical carbon-dioxide (s-CO2) based Brayton cycle require high-pressure high-temperature conditions at the gas turbine inlet. This requires heating of the heat transfer fluid (HTF) to those conditions (~3-35 bar, 900-1600 K for air and ~200 bar, 1000 K for s-CO2) using a solar thermal receiver. Thus, the design and analysis of the pressurized receiver system form an important part towards the development of such solarized power plants. A coupled optical and thermal model is developed for an

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have revolutionized the field of materials science since the successful exfoliation of graphene in 2004. Consequently, the advances in computational science have resulted in massive generic databases for 2D materials, where the structure and the basic properties are predicted using density functional theory (DFT). However, discovering material for a given application from these vast databases is a challenging feat.
