In the past decade, a major fraction of the research carried out in condensed matter physics has been dedicated to address the unique physical properties of single layer graphene (SLG). Different properties of Dirac ...

Nano-photonics deals with different ways to control light-matter interactions beyond the diffraction limit. In contrast to optics, which is the concept of light rays, including absorption, transmission, and reflection, ...

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 ...

The discovery of graphene and analogous van der Waals materials offers a platform for the discovery and exploration of various novel physical phenomena. Here we study the effects of local interaction and strong localisation ...

Hybrid structures involving atomic/molecular membranes from two or more layered materials are emerging as a platform for novel class of field effect transistors (FETs), p - n junctions, photo-detectors, photo-voltaic ...

The key aspect of this thesis is to understand the photoinduced carrier dynamics in low dimensional systems by employing time resolved optical pump-terahertz probe (OPTP) spectroscopy. Ultrafast pulsed laser (Ti: Sapphire ...

The thesis endeavours to theoretically understand electronic properties of nite trapezoidal shaped graphene sheets, and understand zero energy edge states. The motivation for this thesis is recent experimental work at Low ...

Light matter interactions in atomically thin van der Waals materials have attracted significant attention in recent day [1–6]. Although the thickness does not exceed few nano-meters, such an atomically thin materials alone ...

Using a recently proposed Ginzburg-Landau-like free energy functional due to Banerjee et al. Phys. Rev. B 83, 024510 (2011) we calculate the fluctuation diamagnetism of high-T c superconductors as a function of doping, ...

This thesis majorly explores the intricate structural, dynamical, and dielectric characteristics of monolayer water and other organic molecules under strong confinement and astrochemical condition. Water molecules ...
