Acknowledgments 
To begin with, I would like to thank my supervisor, colleague and friend Dr. Pandelis 
Kourtessis for his dedication, professionalism, caring and friendly support throughout the 
course of my research, particularly for believing in me all the way through. 
I would also like to thank my supervisor Prof. John M. Senior for his trust, financial support and 
allowing me to conduct my research without any limits.
I am also indebted to many of my colleagues including Fabien Delestre, Ali Gliwan and Yuval 
Shachaf for establishing a friendly working environment and also for giving me valuable 
advises throughout the whole process. 
Many thanks to my best friends Dr. Surosh Pillay, Stratis Sofianos, Satpal Juttla and Riste 
Petrov for giving me the strength, psychological support, encouragement and their endless 
respect to what I have been working on for the past years. 
This is also a great opportunity to thank Dr. Manoj Thakur and Dr. John Mitchell from 
University College London (UCL) for allowing me to use their facilities in order to perform 
experimental investigations and for their help throughout.
The last but not the least, this thesis would not be possible without my parents and my girlfriend 
who encouraged me to achieve and complete my PhD.
