Description: The Doctoral thesis comprised of two components: theoretical part as well as experimental part. The theory work was on interatomic potentials and derivation of dechanneling cross-section of channeled particles in crystals with point defects. The experimental part consisted of growth and characterization of Strained Layer Superlattices by Ion Channeling, High Resolution XRD and Raman Spectroscopy (experimental). A series of In0.1Ga0.9As/GaAs multilayers have been grown at TIFR, Mumbai, in collaboration with Prof. B. M. Arora. The samples have been subsequently characterized at IoP Bhubaneswar, IIT Kanpur, IGCAR Kalpakkam and Alabama A & M University, Alabama, USA.
