1. Molecular Alligator Clips: A Study of Metal-Molecule Contacts for Molecular Electronics
Abstract : In this thesis we present a computational study of the elementary building blocks for molecular electronics, interconnected electronic devices with critical dimensions below 5 nm. Building electronic circuits on that scale requires stable connection between the various parts of the device and to the macroscopic metal electrodes, needed for power supply, support and integration with conventional electronics.

2. Theoretical studies of a nanoparticle bridge platform for molecular electronics measurements
Abstract : The main focus of this thesis is the theoretical investigations of a nanogap platform used for molecular electronics measurements under ambient conditions. The nanogap is about 20 nm wide, while the molecules investigated here (octanethiol(OT) and octanedithiol(ODT)) are about 1-1.5 nm long making it impossible to bridge the gap with one molecule.

4. Water Splitting Mechanism on 2D Catalytic Materials : DFT based Theoretical Investigations
Abstract : In this thesis, we have envisaged systematic investigation to predict the water splitting mechanism on ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) materials using cutting edge computation. Three different families of materials are considered as the case studies - i.MX2 (where M= W and Pt) based transition metal dichalcogenides, ii. READ MORE
