Nowadays, perovskite materials and their unique properties are a hot topic of research. Here find some questions asked in a recently held interview for a project position: What are the properties of ferroelectric materials? A ferroelectric material develops strain and polarisation when it is placed in an electric field, this effect is called Ferroelectricity. Give […]
The concept of the hypothesis is not something very new. It is a guide behind every scientific investigation. It is such a basic thing that we use it almost every time rather unknowingly. Every scientific investigation is a 5-step process: Identification of the problem Literature study Formulation of hypothesis Experiment Observations, Analysis, and Conclusion Let […]
Sometimes when we plot a graph of the data from an instrument, we see that the plot shifts to higher or lower values unexpectedly. These shifts across x range of data set lead to wrong analysis. This is what we know as baseline drifts. While analyzing the data, it becomes necessary to correct these drifts. […]
Define and Display a Matrix The program reads the first input as (1,1), the second input as (1,2), and the third one as (1,3). This means that first the loop runs for I=1 for all values of J. Then, it runs for I=2 and then for I=3. Adding two matrices For addition, size of two […]
A computer program works the same way a child learns to carry out complex mathematical sums from kindergarten to intermediate classes. By acknowledging the process, we can easily understand the concept using which a computer program can be written. Arranging numbers in ascending or descending order are what a child learns in the starting years […]
FORTRAN programs become very lengthy while solving real engineering problems. To deal with such lengthy codes, the sequences of codes are identified that perform the same operation on different data. Then the user defines a subprogram that performs the above function. This subprogram is invoked within the main program whenever required. Subprograms are of two […]
Every 6 months many students clear CSIR-JRF examinations and hunt for Ph.D. positions in renowned universities and institutes. While the search for a good institute, subject of interest, and a good supervisor itself is mind-blogging, the further process of getting a stipend is even more tedious. However, if you know a few things in advance, […]
About The PMRF scheme was announced in the budget 2018-19. It aims to improve the research quality in higher educational institutes and attract the best talent for R&D. A total of 38 institutes in India offer this fellowship including all IITs, IISc Bangalore, IISERs, BHU, DU, JNU, AMU, Jamia Milia Islamia, University of Hyderabad, and […]
Plotting graphs in origin is as easy as ABC. Once you get acquainted, nothing is as easy as this. Creating graphs step by step 1. Import data into Origin The first step is to import the data into the origin. You may import an entire excel sheet into the origin at once by clicking on […]
Most of the students, if not all, suffer from financial problems while doing a Ph.D. Not being from strong financial backgrounds, they are highly dependent on the fellowship amount. But this amount is meager and the needs are high. Above it, irregularities in fellowship disbursement substantiate the problem. The urge to attain financial stability as […]
