Instabilities coarsening and chaos in driven systems : Growing interfaces and sheared wormlike micelles
We now provide a summary and outlook of the various topics discussed in this thesis. This thesis deals with systems driven far from equilibrium. Such systems show many interesting phenomena, notably nonequilibrium phase ... -
Instrumentation For Reverse Iontophoresis And Biosensor Capacitance Measurement
(2010-09-15)Iontophoresis is a method to enhance and regulate the transdermal drug delivery by application of an electric field to the skin. Application of small electric current (µ A) enhances transport of both charged and neutral ... -
Integrated Gas Sensor - Studies On Sensing Film Deposition, Microheater Design And Fabrication, Interface Electronics Design And Testing
(2015-08-05)Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the electronics world for those aspects related to semiconducting gas sensor (SGS) materials. In view of the increasingly strict legal limits for pollutant gas emissions, ... -
Interaction of distinguished varieties and the Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem in some domains
This thesis explores the interplay between complex geometry and operator theory, focusing on characterizing certain objects from algebraic geometry. Two concepts that have been of prime importance in recent times in the ... -
Interaction of hydrogen isotopes with radiation effects in metals
The present work has highlighted the deuterium behaviour during implantation in Cu, Ti and Pd, particularly relating to its migration, trapping and deuteride formation. The technique of neutron?yield measurement during ... -
Interaction of Ionising Radiations with Nanoparticles
The interaction of ionizing radiations such as alpha, beta, gamma, and X-rays with matter-at bulk has been studied intensively for many decades. However, the interaction of ionizing radiations with matter-at-nanoscale ... -
Interfacial - Dzyaloshinskii - Moriya interaction in quasi-perpendicularly magnetized Ta/Pt/CoFeB/Pt ultra-thin films
The physics of Ferromagnetic-Metal/Heavy-Metal(FM/HM) ultra-thin film heterostructures is not only rich enough to investigate the interplay of magnetic interactions but also relevant enough to harness a new paradigm of ... -
Interfacial engineering to reduce switching current in perpendicularly magnetized Pt/Co/Pt system for memory applications
Tuning the interfacial properties of heavy metal (HM)/ Ferromagnet (FM)/ heavy metal (HM) thin film systems with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) has attracted massive attention in the recent past because of their ... -
Interplay between the Mechanics of Flexible Substrates and Performance of Thin Film Transistors: Role of Buckled Geometry
Buckled Thin Film Transistor (TFT) resulting from the stress induced instability of thin films realized on a exible substrate can behave di erently than that of a planar device. The aim of this thesis is twofold: To ... -
Interplay of disorder and superconductivity in ultra-thin Sn films
This thesis reports low-temperature, in-situ transport measurements on quench-condensed ultra-thin films of Sn. Film thicknesses are < 100 Å. These films exhibit an insulator-to-superconductor transition. Novel effects are ... -
Interplay of Electrons and Phonons in 2D Materials
Since the seminal study by Cao et al. in 2018, that revealed the emergence of superconductivity and correlated insulating behaviour in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), there has been a surge of exciting discoveries in moiré ... -
Interplay of Interaction and Topology From Topological Band Theory to Topological Field Theory
Classification of phases of matter has long been a central point of interest in the research community in condensed matter physics. Over the past several decades mainly two kinds of classification schemes have emerged, ... -
An Introduction to Minimal Surfaces
(2017-12-10)In the first chapter of this report, our aim is to introduce harmonic maps between Riemann surfaces using the Energy integral of a map. Once we have the desired prerequisites, we move on to show how to continuously deform ... -
Invariants Associated with Complete Nevanlinna-Pick Spaces
The broad aim of this thesis is to study certain tuples of bounded operators that satisfy an operator inequality arising from a complete Nevanlinna-Pick kernel. Specifically, we focus on two invariants of these operator ... -
Investigating Magnetic Transitions and the Quantum Spin Liquid State in Complex Oxides
Magnetic properties emerge from the interplay of spin, crystal structures, and external factors such as temperature, magnetic fields, and pressure, resulting in a diverse range of magnetic phenomena with potential applications ... -
Investigating Nucleosynthesis During Formation of Black Holes and Extracting Their Properties
Measurement of black hole spins is of great interest to physicists in general and to astrophysicists in particular, as this provides a direct proof of the theory of general relativity for rotating black holes. It involves ... -
Investigating spin transport across magnetic insulators and their interfaces
Spin transport across magnetic insulator/heavy metal (MI/HM) interfaces has been a topic of interest in spintronics. The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) and spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) are two phenomena that have ... -
Investigating Systematics In The Cosmological Data And Possible Departures From Cosmological Principle
(2013-06-11)This thesis contributes to the field of dark energy and observational cosmology. We have investigated possible direction dependent systematic signal and non-Gaussian features in the supernovae (SNe) Type Ia data. To detect ...
