INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

History and Archives

 

The Vision

 

"It is the duty of people like them to stay in their own country and build up outstanding schools of research such as some other countries are fortunate to possess." This was the vision that guided the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research which Homi Bhabha founded. The Institute was founded on 1st June1945 with support from the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust. The Institute first began functioning within the Cosmic Ray Research Unit on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and moved to Bombay in October that year.

 

From Kenilworth to Colaba

 

In Bombay the Institute was housed at Kenilworth, a bungalow on Pedder Road. It was inaugurated by Sir John Colville, Governor of Bombay on 19th December 1945. In 1949, as the Institute grew, it found its second home at the Old Yacht Club Building (former home of Royal Bombay Yacht Club) near Gateway of India. The Cosmic Ray Group was the first to start functioning. The Nuclear Emulsion and the Electron Magnetism Group started in 1953. Work in Computer Science and Technology in 1954, and the first pilot machine became operational in 1956. The full scale machine, later named the TIFRAC was commissioned in February 1960.

 

The foundation stone of the main building at the Colaba campus was laid by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in 1954. This constitutes the Institute's main campus at present. The modern building on the seafront with gardens, lawns and a seaside promenade was designed by the Chicago architect, Helmuth Bartsch. The building was inaugurated by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on 15 January 1962.

 

The Tripartite Agreement

 

In 1955-56 the Tripartite Agreement between the Government of India, Government of Bombay and the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust came into force at the Institute. The Tripartite Agreement envisaged extensive financial support from the Government of India and correspondingly a greater and more permanent representative for it on the Council of Management. Today, more than 99% of the expenditure of the Institute is borne by the Government of India. The Institute comes under the purview of the Department of Atomic Energy through which all grants are chanelled.

 

Expansion of the Institute

 

In the 1960s the Institute expanded to start a Molecular Biology Group and a Radio Astronomy Group. A low temperature facility and a semi conductor group started around the same time. In 1964 a Basic Dental Research Group started which has since discontinued. The 1970s saw the Institute expand to include Theoretical Astrophysics and the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education. Over the next two decades the Institute further expanded by founding new national centres: The National Centre for Radio Astrophysics in Pune, The Centre for Applicable Mathematics in Bangalore, The National Centre for Biological Sciences in Bangalore. The latest in such efforts has been the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences which was founded in 2007. The work of the Institute is now carried out in three Schools: the School of Mathematics, the School of Natural Sciences and the School of Technology and Computer Sciences. The Institute was granted the status of a deemed university in 2003.

 

Directors

 

In 1966, Homi Bhabha, the founder Director of the Institute died in an air crash. After him, Professor M.G.K Menon became the Director of the Institute. He was succeeded by Professor B.V. Sreekantan in 1975. Professor Virendra Singh became Director in 1987, followed by Professor S.S. Jha in 1997. Professor S. Bhattacharya became the Director in 2002. The present Director is Professor Mustansir Barma.

 

About the TIFR Logo

 

The new TIFR logo is minimalist and modern. It admits a variety of interpretations. Three tapering bands curve clockwise and enclose a solid circle. The eye is led to imagine an enclosing rectangle. The logo admits a variety of interpretations, some mundane, others perhaps fanciful. Waves rise up out of the sea and sweep dramatically upward to the sun, representing soaring aspiration while highlighting the sea-face location of TIFR's main campus. But the circle could also represent the moon of truth, or the earth raised up on the swell of scientific knowledge.  In a mathematical perspective the bands pass tangentially to the most perfect geometrical figure and perhaps converge at infinity. In a physical view the logo may represent wave-particle duality. Equally it may suggest quantum levels in chemistry, or planetary orbits in astronomy, or flagella in biology. Or it can depict the three schools of TIFR - Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Technology and Computer Science, merging into a common entity. But any of these would only be a possible interpretation.

 

The logo has been designed by Mr. Montosh Lall, a 1983 graduate of the J.J. Institute of Applied Art in Mumbai who has designed logos for the Government of India, for international organisations in Europe and the U.S., and for industrial clients. He operates a graphic design studio in Mumbai.

 

Services

 

The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research is a National Centre of the Government of India, under the umbrella of the Department of Atomic Energy, as well as a deemed University awarding degrees for master's and doctoral programs. At TIFR, they carry out basic research in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, computer science and science education. Their main campus is located in Mumbai, but they have additional campuses in Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad.

DYNAMICS OF MOLECULAR NEGATIVE IONS UNRAVELLED

27-FEBRUARY-2012

 

lectron collision with atoms and molecules is one of the most efficient ways of transferring kinetic energy into potential energy thereby initiating and enhancing chemical reactions. This is at play in a variety of natural processes and in laboratory as well as industrial applications. While electron impact ionization is an important channel in this energy transfer process, other inelastic processes dominate at low energies where ionization is energetically disallowed. A wide variety of processing plasmas used for various industrial purposes like lighting, semiconductor etching, plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition, gas lasers, pollution control and nanolithography are examples where all these electron induced processes play a decisive role. It is also realized that the electron induced processes are the inevitable links in the creation of molecules, including biological molecules in interstellar medium and radiation damage in biological systems. For example, the initial atomic or molecular process is ionization when highly energetic charge particles or gamma rays interact with a medium. Through the cascade of ionization by the ejected electrons, the number of free low energy electrons increase multifold. These low energy electrons are very efficient in producing negative ions, atoms and radicals, and vibrationally and electronically excited molecules. Being highly reactive, these species readily take part in further chemical reactions. In many processes induced by electrons, they are not just mere carriers of energy but they can induce reactions which cannot be triggered using photons of the same energy as well as those transitions which are spin forbidden. The process that dominates the creation of these reactive species when a low energy electron interacts with a molecule is the formation of electron-molecule resonances, which are excited states of molecular negative ions and are transient in nature.

 

The decay dynamics of these transient molecular negative ion states determine the nature of the reactive products. This transient ion may decay either through ejection of the extra electron (called autodetachment) or through dissociation. The decay through autodetachment generally leaves the molecule in excited vibrational and/or electronic state. The decay through dissociation produces a stable negative ion and one or more neutral radicals. Thus both the decay processes, starting from electron attachment, produce molecules with excess internal energy or radicals and negative ions all of which are chemically very reactive. Since the nature of the chemical reaction will be dependent on the reactants, the decay dynamics of the transient molecular negative ion play the decisive role in determining the final products. Electron energy loss spectroscopy has been used to determine the vibrational and electronic excitation of the molecules. The resonant attachment followed by dissociation of the molecule which is called dissociative electron attachment (DEA) has been studied using negative ion mass spectrometry. Both these channels have been studied extensively in the last century. The discovery at the turn of the century that low energy electrons play a crucial role in radiation damage of DNA by DEA mechanism renewed the interest in the field of low energy electron interaction with molecules.

 

At TIFR, we have shown that this competition between the two modes of decay of the transient molecular negative ion provides selectivity in the bond cleavage [1]. Here, the electron energy is used as the parameter that controls the dissociation pattern. It is a well-known fact that the selectivity in the bond cleavage in a molecule can be achieved on the basis of how much energy is provided to it. This is based on the fact that depending on their strength, various bonds in a molecule require different amount of energy to break them. However, the most interesting aspect of our discovery of site selective cleavage of bonds using low energy electrons is the existence of this selectivity at energies considerably higher than that required to break any of the individual bonds. For example, in a molecule like acetic acid (CH3COOH), the minimum energy required to break the O-H bond by electron attachment is 4 eV and that for the C-H bond is 3.5 eV. But the selectivity seen in breaking these bonds is at energies larger than 6 eV (at 6.5 eV only O-H bond breaks and at 9.5eV predominantly C-H bond breaks).

 

In order to use this selectivity towards controlling any further reaction, it.s important to study the molecular dynamics that causes this effect. It is also important to know the underlying dynamics for fundamental understanding of the process. To that end, we have developed a technique of momentum imaging called Velocity Slice Imaging (for low energy electron interaction) which is an adaptation of the well-known Velocity Map Imaging (VMI) [2]. In the VMI technique [3], fragment ions formed in the interaction volume (here the region of the electron and molecular beam overlap) are extracted, mass analysed using specially built time of flight mass spectrometer and detected on a two-dimensional position sensitive detector. The mass spectrometer provides the electrostatic fields that forces the ions with a specific set of velocities, hit at a fixed point on the detector irrespective of their point of origin. The velocity (magnitude and direction) distribution (known as the Newton sphere) of the ions appears as a disc on the detector if their time of arrival is not recorded. The original distribution of the Newton sphere of the product ions at the time of their formation is obtained by inverting the patterns obtained from two-dimensional image (the VMI data) using appropriate inversion programs. These programs use the fact that the collision interaction has a cylindrical symmetry about the projectile (here electrons) propagation direction. This technique employs a DC electric field in order to extract the ions from the interaction region and has been in use in photodissociation and photoionization experiments.

 

In the technique that we developed, the ions are made to fall on the detector in the similar pattern as that in VMI. However, the time of arrival and position of each ion is recorded separately. Since we use low energy electrons as projectiles, the use of DC electric field for extracting the ions from the interaction region is ruled out. This forces us to use the electrons in a narrow but well defined pulse, followed by a pulsed electric field. However, we have converted this handicap to our benefit. In order to record the time of arrival of the ions accurately across the Newton sphere, it needs to be stretched along the flight direction. We achieve this by using a time delay between the electron pulse and the ion extraction field. From the individually recorded position and time of arrival of the ions, the entire Newton sphere is directly read out.

 

The results of these measurements are the momentum distribution patterns for fragment ions shown in the figure. Here the square of the radial distance of a point in the pattern gives the measure of the initial kinetic energy of the ions. The colour of a pixel indicates the number of fragment ions formed with that specific kinetic energy and ejected in that particular direction. From such images, we determine the initial kinetic energies of the ions formed as well as the direction in which they get ejected with respect to the direction of the incoming electrons. The distributions of these kinetic energy values and the directions of the fragment ejection (also called as angular distribution) are used to understand the dynamics of the dissociation of the parent negative ion by further analysis.

 

By imaging the momentum distributions of the H- and O- fragments using this technique as shown in the figure, the dynamics of the DEA process in water has been unravelled to a great extent. For more information, please refer to [4].
