This book discusses graph theoretic applications in networks and study of amino acids through graphs along with the concepts of insulation sequence, dominating sets, partition of the vertex set into subsets with certain properties and association of new types of matrices for the study of amino acids.

On the experimental side chapters relate to preparation and characterization of nano and thin films. The properties of thin films are ultimately connected with the method of deposition. Different preparation techniques such as DC magnetron sputtering, chemical bath deposition, vapour phase epitaxy growth, spray pyrolysis, pulsed laser technique and sol-gel method were used for depositing different thin films such as CrN/Cu, Cu2O, GaN, Zn(1-x)MnxO , TiO2etc.

Fruitful application of the films deposited is possible only by their characterization. Structural, optical, magnetic and conduction properties are also investigated.
