Modulation doped heterostructures have revolutionized the operation of field effect devices by increasing the speed of operation. One of the factors that affects the speed of operation of these devices is the mobility of ...

Significant advancements in genome sequencing techniques and other high-throughput initiatives have resulted in the availability of complete sequences of genomes of a large number of organisms, which provide an opportunity ...

In bacteria, nucleoid associated proteins (NAPs) represent a prominent group of global regulators that perform the tasks of genome compaction, establishing chromosomal architecture and regulation of various DNA transactions ...

Structural studies of peptides has relevance for various applications, like, in de novo design of proteins, in designing better catalysts for organic synthesis, in structure based drug design, in the design and construction ...

Elastic properties of carbon nanotubes (CNT), boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT), double stranded DNA (dsDNA), paranemic-juxtapose crossover (PX-JX) DNA and dendrimer bound DNA are discussed in this thesis. Structural phase ...

The thesis describes the study of slow dynamics of confined polymers and soft colloids. We study the finite size effect on the dynamics of glassy polymers using newly developed interfacial microrheology technique. ...

Physical systems having dimensions smaller than, or of the same order of magnitude as, the characteristic length scale relevant to a physical property are referred to as mesoscopic physical systems. Due to the dimensions ...

This thesis consists of six chapters. The first chapter gives an introduction to the field of low-dimensional magnetic and electronic systems and relevant numerical techniques. The recent developments in molecular magnets ...

This thesis consists of research work in the broad area of soft condensed matter theory with a focus on active matter. The study of long wavelength, low frequency collective behavior of active particles (bacterial suspensions, ...
