Excursions in ill condensed quantum matter from amorphous topological insulators to fractional spins
Condensed matter physics is a fascinating subject where collective properties of many particle systems show exotic emergent phenomena, practically unpredictable from the behavior of individual constituents. Many basic ... -
Graphene Nanostructures : A Theoretical Study Of Electronic, Magnetic And Structural Properties
(2014-09-26)Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in honeycomb lattice. Over a long period of time it was treated as a hypothetical material to understand the properties of other allotropes of carbon, such as graphite, ... -
Ground State Studies Of Strongly Correlated 2D Systems
(2013-02-14)The quest for obtaining higher Tc superconductivity led to the discovery of cuprates about 20 years ago. Since then, they continue to puzzle the scientific community with their bizarre properties like non-BCS superconductivity, ... -
Multi-Scale Approaches For Understanding Deformation And Fracture Mechanisms In Amorphous Alloys
(2010-03-09)Amorphous alloys possess attractive combinations of mechanical properties (high elastic limit, ~2%, high fracture toughness, 20-50 MPa.m1/2, etc.) and exhibit mechanical behavior that is different, in many ways, from that ... -

The role of quantum fluctuations in the t-J model: Implications for cuprate superconductors
The physics of strongly correlated electron systems is among the central problems of condensed matter physics. One of the outstanding problems in this category is that of the high-Tc superconductivity obtained by doping ... -
Size Dependence of Static and Dynamic Properties of Nanobars and Nanotubes
(2018-02-11)This thesis aims at investigating size dependence of properties of nanostructures from the point of view of a general scaling theory that smoothly connects properties of the bulk to that of nanostructures. Two different ... -
Spectral And Transport Properties Of Falicov-Kimball Related Models And Their Application To Manganites
(2010-03-26)From the time of the unexpected discovery of the insulating nature of NiO by Verwey half a century ago, Oxide materials have continued to occupy the centre stage of condensed matter physics. The recent discovery of high ... -
Studies in Strongly Correlated Systems: From Ultracold Superfluids to Strange Metals
Almost all the technology that we use today depends on our ability to control and exploit the properties of many electron phases. These phases are primarily made up of non-interacting fermions embodied in a metal or a ... -
Studies of "clean" and "disordered" Bilayer Optical Lattice Systems Circumventing the 'fermionic Cooling-problem'
(2018-09-04)The advancement in the eld of cold-atoms has generated a lot of interest in the condensed matter community. Cold-atom experiments can simulate clean, disor-der/impurity free systems very easily. In these systems, we have ... -
Tenfold Classification for Interacting Fermions and Relation with Homogeneous Spaces
Topological classifi cation of topological insulator superconductor, various quantum Hall states are probably the most discussed topic in theoretical quantum condensed matter community as well as many mathematicians ... -
Ultra Cold Fermions : Dimensional Crossovers, Synthetic Gauge Fields and Synthetic Dimensions
(2018-02-06)Ultracold atomic systems have provided an ideal platform to study the physics of strongly interacting many body systems in an unprecedentedly controlled and clean environment. And, since fermions are the building blocks ...
