On the electrical transport of weak topological insulators and Weyl semimetals
Topological insulators have garnered enormous amount of attention owing to their unique topological properties. The surface states protected by the topology of the system hold limitless potentials including topological ... -
On-board Failure Diagnostics and Failure Prediction of High Power White Light Emitting Diodes Used in Safety Critical Applications
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) have become a focus of global lighting community owing to their long service life, low energy consumption and environmental friendliness. The ever-increasing use of LEDs in many applications ... -
Quantum dynamics of weak measurements: Understanding the Born rule and applying weak error correction
Projective measurement is used as a fundamental axiom in quantum mechanics, even though it is discontinuous and cannot predict which measured operator eigen state will be observed in which experimental run. The probabilistic ... -
Quantum transport in Graphene Moire Superlattice and p-n junction
The discovery of graphene has revolutionized the field of mesoscopic condensed matter physics. It has started a new field of van-der Waals heterostructure in which different two-dimensional materials including graphene can ... -
Rapid light sheet fluorescence microscopy for dynamic imaging of living organisms
The primary goal of this thesis is to develop a light sheet based microscopy system that provides non-invasive images having high spatial and temporal resolution. The fluorescence microscopy has become an indispensable ... -
Role of gamma oscillations in processing of natural stimuli
Gamma oscillations (~30-80 Hz) are a prominent signature of electrophysiological signals recorded from the brain with proposed roles in various cognitive functions such as attention and visual perception. Although gamma ... -
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 ... -

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 ... -
A Study of Some Conformal Metrics and Invariants on Planar Domains
The main aim of this thesis is to explain the behaviour of some conformal metrics and invariants near a smooth boundary point of a domain in the complex plane. We will be interested in the invariants associated to the ... -
Study of Thermoelectric Transport Properties of Doped and Vacancy Induced BiCuSeO
About 70% of the heat generated for energy production is wasted and thermoelectric generators can capture this waste heat and convert it into useful electricity. The stability at high temperature in the ambient atmosphere ... -
Studying bubbles in liquid He4 containing single and many electrons
Helium is an inert element with fully occupied orbitals and is a super fluid at low temperatures. An electron close to the surface of liquid Helium faces a long range attraction due to the finite polarizability of the ... -
