Elucidating Intricate Excited-state Dynamics in Molecular Systems Using Time-resolved Transient Absorption and Ultrafast Raman Spectroscopy
Abstract The excited-state dynamics of molecular materials is of great importance to understand early time photodynamics. We have used Femtosecond Transient Absorption (fs-TA) and Ultrafast Raman Loss Spectroscopy (URLS) ... -
Emergent Phenomena from Contacts and Disorder in High Mobility Graphene
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 ... -
Engineered Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors for High- Sensitivity Healthcare and Environmental Diagnostics
The growing demands of modern healthcare and environmental safety call for sensing technologies that are rapid, highly sensitive, and deployable in real-world settings. This thesis addresses this challenge by establishing ... -
Engineering 2D Materials and Heterostructures for Advanced Gas Sensing and Molecular Memory Devices
The increasing need for monitoring environmental health has spurred the search for advanced sensing materials to create energy efficient, low cost, light weight gas sensing systems. The inherent attributes of 2D materials, ... -
Engineering Plasmonic Interactions in Three Dimensional Nanostructured Systems
(2018-02-08)Strong light matter interactions in metallic nanoparticles (NPs), especially those made of noble metals such as Gold and Silver is at the heart of much ongoing research in nanoplasmonics. Individual NPs can support collective ... -
Engineering topological surface states through structural control, electrostatic gating and superconducting proximity effects
Three dimensional topological insulators are materials characterized by a gapped insulating bulk and gapless metallic states on the sample surface. This unique be- havior arises out of the non-trivial topology of the ... -
Engineering Weyl and Dirac Fermions in Transition Metal Perovskites
The emergence of topological materials has fundamentally altered the landscape of condensed matter physics, introducing phases of matter defined by the topological properties of their electronic wavefunctions. A particularly ... -
Enhancing the spin-orbit torque efficiency in Pt/CoFeB/Pt based perpendicularly magnetized systems
Controlling and switching magnetization by the process of current-induced torque has a considerable advantage in lower power consumption for a memory device and spin logic device application. For a heavy metal (HM) / ... -
Entangled Granular Chains: Geometry, Cohesion, and Emergent Mechanics
Granular materials, composed of discrete macroscopic particles, are ubiquitous in daily life, industry, and natural processes. Unlike conventional solids or liquids, their behavior is complex, driven by dissipative ... -
Entanglement properties of gauge theories and the graviton.
Entanglement entropy is emerging as a useful quantity to study critical phenomena in quantum systems, black holes physics, and holography. In this presentation, we discuss entanglement properties of gauge theories and ... -
Enumerative considerations of SDR's and latin rectangles
The art of counting is interesting but often 120000103 a difficult task. It requires computational skills^ ' .. ability to recognise similar patterns and a little mastery of general principles and simplification ... -
EPR study of the phase transitions in LIKSO4 and certain similar salts.
This thesis represents basically an attempt to investigate the low temperature phase transitions of LiKSO^ (LKS) through Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR). There have been of course umpteen publications on the ... -
Equilibrium and nonequilibrium dynamics of dense liquids
Dense liquids do many interesting things: they freeze into crystals, and sometimes get trapped into glassy states along the way. Their behaviour becomes more unusual when they are driven far away from equilibrium, for ... -
Ergodic and adaptive control of markov processes.
We address the problem of controlling two classes of Markov processes, viz., Markov chains and diffusion processes. Our main goal is to minimize a long-run average cost criterion (or ergodic cost criterion) associated with ... -
Escape Of High Mass Ions Due To Initial Thermal Energy And Its Implications For RF Trap Design
(2013-05-31)This thesis investigates the loss of high mass ions due to the initial thermal energy in ion trap mass analyzers. It provides an analytical expression for estimating the percentage loss of ions of a given mass at a particular ... -
Esperimental techniques and of electrical properties of critical binary liquid systems
A direct analysis of the resistance and capacitance data did not yield any unambiguous result on the value of the exponent ?. Both resistance and capacitance behave in a similar way, and the ? value seems to depend upon ... -
Establishing Super- and Sub-Chandrasekar Limiting Mass White Dwarfs to Explain Peculiar Type La Supernovae
(2018-06-23)A white dwarf is most likely the end stage of a low mass star like our Sun, which results when the parent star consumes all the hydrogen in its core, thus bringing fusion to a halt. It is a dense and compact object, where ... -
Evolution of the Magnetic Ground States with Lattice Distortion and Chemical Inhomogeneity in Doped Perovskite Oxides
(2018-04-18)The physics of doped transition metal perovskite has been an area of intense research in the last few decades due to their interesting magnetic and transport properties. Various exciting phenomena such as, colossal magneto ...
