I am indebted to Dr. Sanjeev Galande and Dr. R. R. Bhonde for their support and help. It
was only for their support that I could continue in my pursuit of a scientific carrier. Thank
you so much.
I wish to thank Prof. Philippe Bouvet for his excellent support during my stay in the Jolliot
Curie Laboratory.
The scope of this thesis required multi-disciplinary approaches and I was fortunate to have very
able collaborators whose contribution was indispensable for successful conclusion of this work. I
wish to thank Dr. Cendrine Moskalenko and Dr. Jan Bednar for their help in Atomic Force
Microscopy and Cryo-Electron Microscopy experiments. I wish to especially thank Cendrine for
explaining me the fundamentals of AFM, interpreting the results and also for her help in
correcting the thesis.
Special thanks for Fabien Montel, Sajad and Hervé for their help in my experiments, their
critical inputs and most importantly for the great work environment we shared.
I wish to thank Zofia, Helene, Maggy and Bennoit for their willingness to help whenever I
needed it. In fact, I would like to express my gratitude to all the members of LJC for their
constant support, encouragement, and making me feel as a part of the big family. They all have
been source of inspiration and the things I have learned through my interaction with them will
help me grow as a scientist in time to come.
I would like to thank my parents, family members and friends who stood by me at all the times.
Thank you Sumit, Janesh and Farhan for being there.
Finally I wish to thank one person without whom it was not possible at all. Thank you Ruchi,
for your support, standing by me with all my decisions, understanding me, taking many things
off my shoulders and most of all for giving me the most precious gift “Chinmaya”.
