Coulomb drag to thermopower response in dimensionally mismatched InAs nanowire-Graphene heterostructures and anisotropic noise in ReS2
Coulomb drag technique is a notable tool for probing electron-electron interaction in double-layer systems, where the momentum and energy transfer from one layer to the other layer as a result of Coulomb interaction. In ... -
Development and Characterization of Mercury Cadmium Telluride Colloidal Quantum Dot Based Infrared Optical Sensor
Motivation of this thesis is to synthesize HgCdTe quantum dots responsive in MWIR spectral range using chemical synthesis method and develop room temperature operated MWIR focal plane array using commercial silicon ROIC ... -
Effects of Strong Electron-Electron Correlations on Band Insulators in Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium
In this thesis, several aspects of correlation effects in band insulators that were hitherto not addressed, both in equilibrium and non-equilibrium, are studied using the Ionic Hubbard model (IHM) at half-filling and ... -
Exploring Electron Bubbles in Liquid Helium using Cavitation
An electron entering liquid helium experiences a repulsive potential of 1 eV. This originates in the interaction between the injected electron and electrons of the closed shells of helium atoms through Pauli exclusion ... -
Investigation of quantum interference and quantum oscillations in 3D topological insulators
The investigations on the topological phase of the matter first started with the experimental discovery of the quantum Hall effect (QHE) back in 1980. The experimental discovery of the quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE) was ... -
Light and magnetic field induced coherence effects in atoms
In this thesis, we have studied the coherence effects in atoms induced by light and a magnetic field. After giving an introduction to the contents of the thesis, details about the theory and the experimental setup used are ... -
Manipulating phonons and electrons in two-dimensional materials
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are one or few atoms thick layered materials. The interaction between the layers in their parent three-dimensional material is weak. Therefore, one can stack different 2D materials on top ... -
Mesoscopic Heat engines beyond the Limits of Thermodynamics
Despite the central role that Equilibrium thermodynamics has played in our understanding of many body systems, the underlying theoretical construct is strictly correct only in the ‘Thermodynamic Limit’. On the other hand, ... -
Non-ergodicity in Interacting Quasiperiodic Systems and Disordered Fock Lattice Models
In this thesis, we study different aspects of many body localization in closed quantum systems. Many body localized systems are isolated interacting quantum systems that fail to thermalize on their own (non-ergodic) and ... -
A Platform for Handheld Ultrafast PCR
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is one of the most sensitive and specific diagnostic tools available today. Yet, it stands out of reach for many vulnerable populations because commercial solutions are expensive, bulky, ... -
Study of Exciton Dynamics in MoS2 Monolayer and MoS2-QD Heterostructure
The recent studies of two-dimensional semiconductors (2D) and their hybrid structure with zero-dimensional (0D) semiconductors have led to discovering of many fascinating properties that are absent in their bulk counterparts. ... -
Study of room temperature coupling of colloidal quantum dots to plasmonic arrays and metamaterials: from single quantum dot to quantum dot assemblies
There is much current interest in coupling emitters, such as fluorescing dye molecules and semiconductor quantum dots to plasmonic systems. Controlling the electromagnetic interactions between quantum emitters and the ... -
Study of the Thermoelectric Properties of RxCo4Sb12 (R=In, Ba) with InSb/GaSb Nano Inclusions
Almost 80% of the world’s energy needs depend on oil, coal and natural gases. Use of natural gases, fossil fuels emit a large amount of CO2 to the earth’s atmosphere, which causes the greenhouse effect and results in an ... -
A Theoretical Study of Thermoelectric Effect for Cross-plane Transport Across Twisted Bilayer Graphene
The thermoelectric effect and the linear response theory is one of the most studied areas in condensed matter physics. In the last few years, the study of Van Der Waals heterostructure has become one of the most promising ... -
Tuning Andreev reflection at Graphene - superconductor junction: from zero field to quantum Hall regime
Andreev reflection (AR) is the underlying phenomena that determines the quasiparticle dynamics at the junction of a superconductor with any non-superconducting material, which in turn determines the transport properties ... -
Tuning the electrical and thermoelectric properties of bilayer graphene by band engineering
Graphene and its two dimensional (2D) analogues have sustained the interests of the researchers for quite some time because of the rich physics they offer including many quantum phenomena and non-trivial topological ...
