21. Giant Dipole Resonances as Probes of Local Environment in Molecules, Clusters and Solidsl
Abstract : In this thesis, I study effects of the local environment on the giant dipole resonances (GDR) in lanthanides and actinides. The effects of embedding in jellium, bonding in small molecules and incorporation into different fullerene systems are studied. READ MORE

22. Multi-Photon Interactions with a Time Structure
Abstract : The present thesis concerns aspects of the interaction ofmatter in gas, liquid and solid phases, with electromagneticradiation, ranging from the optical to the X-ray region. Overthe last decade the availability of ultrashort strong laserpulses as well as of high power synchrotron sources of tunableX-ray radiation has stimulated a rapid development of newexperimental techniques which makes it possible to analysedifferent physical, chemical and biological processes inunprecedented detail.

23. Quantum mechanical effects on charge transport in two mesoscopic systems
Abstract : Carbon nanotubes are one of the most promising building blocks for the developing field of nanoelectromechanics. Due to their unique electronic and mechanical properties, these all-carbon systems have been suggested for a range of applications where one wishes to utilse the coupling between mechanical and electronic degrees of freedom on the nanometer length scale.

24. Coherent Plasmon-Plasmon and Plasmon-Exciton Interactions at the Nanoscale
Abstract : Noble metallic nanoparticles which supports localized surface plasmon resonances, offers a variety of potential scientific as well as industrial applications. Due to a remarkable ability to confine light at nanoscale dimensions, far below the optical diffraction limit, together with an ability to detect minute changes in the local environment plasmonic nanoparticles have paved routes towards several new and intriguing techniques, promising for future applications in areas such as molecular sensing and quantum optics.

25. Kinetic Measurements Using Nanoplasmonic Sensing
Abstract : In this thesis the nanoplasmonic sensing technique was used to study kinetics of (i) the oxidation of Al nanoparticles in air and water and (ii) the solid-liquid phase transition in Sn nanoparticles. The nanoplasmonic sensing technique detects changes of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in metal nanoparticles. READ MORE
