  Abstract
  Thin layer coating of metals will improve the mechanical properties. Cu-Ni-P-W composite coatings were prepared by means of coating a thin film on the above of Al-6063 alloy. The aim of this composite coating is to improve the micromechanical properties such as sliding wear resistance and hardness of the Al. The microstructure of coated Al-6063 material was analyzed to determine such that properties. Due to slight increase in P and W content, the grain size refined gradually and the micro-hardness increased. However, on heat treatment, the composite coating exhibits improved wear resistance and better micro-hardness of the coated Al. Also the mechanical properties and tribological study of the coated material were analyzed by various tests such as wear, friction, hardness and surface roughness test and the results were compared and validated with Cu-Ni-P, Cu-Ni-P-W composite coatings. Hence the results shows that Cu-Ni-P-W composites possess higher hardness, better corrosion resistance, good wear resistance, and low coefficient of friction.

  Abstract
  Twenty seven years (1983-2009) of International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) cloud data and nine years (2001-2009) of Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) top of atmosphere cloud radiative forcing data have been used to study the spatial distribution of clouds and the radiative forcing exerted by them over the Indian summer monsoon region. During the Indian summer monsoon season of June – September, cloud cover amount and cloud optical depth are more over the India and the adjoining Bay of Bengal region when compared to other seasons. Cloud top temperature of these monsoon clouds are lower (i.e., taller) in summer season when compared to other seasons. CERES data suggest that monsoon clouds exert a net cooling effect (net cloud radiative forcing is negative) which is uncommon over the tropical deep convective regions.

  Abstract
  In this analysis, ZnS nanoparticles have been synthesized employing an easy chemical co-precipitation route using metal precursors and DMF (CH3)2NC(O)H as a stabilizing agent. The obtained ZnS nanoparticles have been characterized through XRD, TEM, UV-Vis, FTIR and PL measurements. The foremost intense broad peaks in the diffraction outline reveal the crystalline character of the prepared material with the particle length is approximately 4.7 nm. The optical band gap has been evaluated from the UV-Vis. absorption spectrum which is found to be about 3.95 eV. The blue swing in absorption spectra validates the formation of nanoparticles. Further, the TEM micrograph revealing the ZnS particles are in nano dimension. FTIR study has been carried out for the bond evaluation. The PL measurement shows the emission of colour in the blue area.

  Abstract
  It is a big challenge for material researchers to synthesis nanoparticles and nanocomposites with desire configurations in view of subtending all physical properties. Peoples from different fields show keen interest in making nanocomposites because of huge applications in all branches of science and technology. It was observed that nanocomposites are very useful for fabricating energy storage devices because of low ac conductivity, dielectric constant and high tangent loss. The novel nanocomposites can be used as biomaterials, self-cleansing materials and shape memory or smart materials.

  Abstract
  Undoped and Cu2+ doped (SnO2)1-x(ZnO)x nanocomposites were synthesized using a simple microwave assisted solvothermal method with ethylene glycol as solvent. The as-prepared samples were calcinated at 500 0C for 1hr. The optical studies were carried out using Photoluminescence measurements. A small shift in the peak position was observed for doped samples when compared to undoped samples. The shifting was due to the incorporation of dopant into the host matrix and also coupled with the variation of band gap energies of the nanocomposites. The results obtained were reported and discussed herewith.

  Abstract
  Schiff base condensation of benzil bis o-phenylenediamine with acetophenone, benzophenon, acetone, benzaldehyde and p-chlorobenzaldehyde and its Copper complexes were synthesised. Preparation of the free ligands was accomplished by refluxing benzil with o-phenylenediamine in 1:10 mole ratio in methanol. XANES spectra have been recorded at the K-edge of Cu using the dispersive beam line at 2.5GeV Indus-2 synchrotron radiation source RRCAT(Raja Ramanna Centre for Advance Technology ), Indore, India. The K-absorption (EK) and the energy of the principal absorption maximum (EA) of copper metal and its complexes, edge width and effective nuclear charge were determined in the current study. These studies build prominent interaction between various parameters for the Cu-complexes. XANES data have been analysed using the computer software Athena and Origin. The values of the chemical shifts specify that copper is in oxidation state +2 in all of the complexes.
