We are pleased to bring out this special issue of Transactions of the Indian Institute of Metals (TIIM) containing extended version of select papers presented at the Seventh International Conference on Solidification Science ...

Herein, we synthesised four aza-BODIPY dyes (1–4) with the singlet oxygen generation quantum yield values of ca. 65–85%. Furthermore, we formulated a nanomedicine by encapsulating these dyes into an amphiphilic micelle, ...

BACKGROUND: 'Phytonutrients' have been reported to exert an incredible impact on the healthcare system and offer medical benefits including the prevention or treatment of lifestyle-associated diseases. We chose one of the ...

Fe, N doped porous graphitic carbon electrocatalyst (Fe-MOG-MF-C), obtained by pyrolysis of an Interpenetrating Polymer Network (IPN) comprised of melamine formaldehyde (MF as hard segment) and Metal–Organic Gel (MOG as ...

In this paper, we have studied the effect on the structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of La and Sr-deficiencies in the La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 compound. Rietveld refinement of the X-ray powder diffraction patterns ...

The magnetic behavior of TiO2 and doped TiO2 nanocrystals has been a challenge due to the unambiguous nature of defects present in oxide semiconductors. Here, a simple, low-temperature sol–gel method is developed for the ...

Ni and NiFe alloys with different compositions have been successfully synthesized using a simple, surfactant-free polyol method. The morphological analysis demonstrated a uniform spherical nature of the alloys, with size ...

Present study aims to fabricate selectively reinforced aluminum hybrid composites using varying combinations of porous ceramic preforms containing discontinuous dispersoids of silicon carbide, aluminosilicate fiber, and ...

A series of fixed frequency dielectric measurements shows dielectric relaxation in La2CuMnO6, with a dynamic (Arrhenius to Arrhenius) crossover at TC. The external magnetic field alters the relaxation parameters in the ...
