Simulation of Carbon Nanotube Growth
Simulation of Carbon Nanotube Growth. Abstract 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 Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation with empirical force fields and a geometry optimization based on ab […]
Optical Properties of Metal Clusters from First Principles Calculations
Optical Properties of Metal Clusters from First Principles Calculations. Abstract Ground State structures of neutral Copper clusters CuN=3−6 were generated and opti- mised within the framework of the Density Functional Theory (DFT) using Generalised Gradient Approximation (GGA) and ultrasoft pseudopotential. The shapes and binding energies of the clusters obtained showed good agreement with other theoretical […]
Analysis of Magneto Hemodynamics of Blood in A Stenosed Artery
Analysis of Magneto Hemodynamics of Blood in A Stenosed Artery. Abstract Human body responds to physical activities, external temperature, external mag- netic field, and other factors by homeostatically adjusting its blood flow in order to deliver nutrients such as oxygen and glucose to every organ in the body and allow them to function. Complications in […]
Electro-Magnetic Duality, Magnetic Monopoles and Topological Insulators
Electro-Magnetic Duality, Magnetic Monopoles and Topological Insulators. ABSTRACT The Maxwell equations of electrodynamics acquire an additional symmetry if one assumes the existence of hypothetical particles-magnetic monopoles, carrying a magnetic charge. The additional internal symmetry is the electro- magnetic duality generated by the rotations in the space of electric and mag- netic charges. In this project […]
Theoretical and Computational Modeling of the Effects of Electromagnetic Field on the Plasmodium Falciparum
Theoretical and Computational Modeling of the Effects of Electromagnetic Field on the Plasmodium Falciparum. Abstract The study explores the potential effects of the remote application of cyclic magnetic field to the female anopheles mosquitoes that carry malaria parasites. The goal is to develop a theoretical basis that can guide the cyclic activation of the magnetic […]
Topological Antiferromagnetic Magnons
Topological Antiferromagnetic Magnons. Abstract We have studied a model for a non-collinear but coplanar antiferromagnetic spin tex- ture on a two dimensional kagome lattice structure in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii- Moriya Interaction (DMI). We observed some interesting topological properties in our system i.e. the presence of non-trivial edge state in the wave function. This non-trivial […]
Qualitative Modelling and Simulation of Free Running Semiconductor Laser
Qualitative Modelling and Simulation of Free Running Semiconductor Laser. ABSTRACT 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 and the photons generated and annihilated were simulated to examine […]
Biomechanics of Surface Runoff and Soil Water Percolation
Biomechanics of Surface Runoff and Soil Water Percolation. Abstract In this study, the complex interaction of surface runoff with the biomechanics of soil water transport and heat transfer rate is theoretically investigated using math- ematical model that rely on the two phase flows of an incompressible Newtonian fluid (stormwater) within the soil (porous medium) and […]
