While piezo- response force microscopy experiments reveal weak electro-mechanical coupling in the het- erostructures with a piezo-electric d33 coefficient measured to be 13 pc/N. Conductive AFM (atomic force microscopy) experiments indicate that the heterostructures can be used as active electronic circuit substitutes at extremely small length scales. In the study of elec- trical functionality where an electrical contact involving a single heterostructure and an AFM cantilever (Pt-Ir coated silicon nitride) behaves like an active differentiator circuit. Transient response of the circuit indicates strong evidence of the voltage dependence. The overall electrical properties reported here imply that the nano-heterostructures of Cu2S and CdS could find application in nano-meter scale mechanical sensors, actuators and as active circuit components in nanoelectronics.

Given a group G, two elements x; y 2 G are said to z-equivalent, if their centralizers are conjugate. Apart from its origin from dynamics of geometries, classifying z-classes in groups is of independent interest as well. In this thesis we have specifically studied z-classes in finite p-groups.

Fourier transform of the temporal behaviour reveals a period of approximately thirty days. Effects to correlate the number of owers with change in temperature and humidity are described.

In particular, Marina Ratner has shown that the closure of every orbit for such a flow is of nice algebraic(or geometric) form. This is known as the Ratner Orbit Closure Theorem; the Ratner Measure Classification Theorem and the Ratner Equidistribution Theorem are closely related results. After presenting these imporatnt theorems and some of their Consequences, I would discuss the main ideas of the proof. I will present examples that illustrate the theorems, some of their applications, and the main ideas involved in the proof.
