ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS<br />
I sincerely, thank my senior colleague, teacher and research advisor, Prof. Apoorva G. Wagh, for<br />
believing in me, guiding, inspiring and supporting me during my thesis work. I also thank him for<br />
introducing me to this beautiful world of quantum physics using neutrons and for his great zeal and<br />
unwavering patience with which he explained me the neutron dynamical diffraction. His intuition, work<br />
ideas, detailed knowledge and unending quest to arrive at the correct mathematical formulas consistent<br />
with physics provided me with an invaluable and exciting experience and benefitted me a lot.<br />
I would also like to gratefully acknowledge and thank my all colleagues and coworkers, Prof. W.<br />
Treimer, Drs. M. Strobl, R. Loidl, T. Potocar, H. Lemmel and Prof. H. Rauch. Special thanks are due to<br />
H. Lemmel for his good company in our June, 11 run of experiment at ILL. It is a pleasure to<br />
acknowledge skilled assistance of Smt. M. Sharma of TP&PED, R. Mittal of SSPD, S.S. Patil of CDM,<br />
S.S. Jadhav of Spectroscopy Division, D. Sahoo of TP&PED, members of Chemie lab, HZB, O.<br />
Ebrahimi, S. Keil, P. Walter, R. Monka, other students of Prof. W. Treimer, V.K. Aswal and D. Sen, at<br />
various stages of this work and HZB and ILL (hospitality during experimental runs).<br />
I am very thankful to the members of doctoral committee which comprised of Prof. S.V.G. Menon, Prof.<br />
S.C. Gupta, Prof. S.L. Chaplot, Prof. V. Datar and Prof. A.G. Wagh. I am indebted to them for their<br />
