Origin of Instability and Plausible Turbulence in Astrophysical Accretion Disks and Rayleigh-stable Flows
(2017-12-10)Accretion disks are ubiquitous in astrophysics. They are found in active galactic nuclei, around newly formed stars, around compact stellar objects, like black holes, neutron stars etc. When the ambient matter with ... -
Origin Of The Extragalactic Gamma-Ray Background
(2013-10-01)It is evident that the origin of EGRB is not well established. In this thesis I examine the unresolved discrete origin of EGRB. The contribution from normal galaxies, starburst galaxies and AGNs to the EGRB is examined. ... -
Packaging and Functionalization of Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors for Various Sensing Applications.
In our world, numerous sensors are found everywhere, making our lives simpler and more comfortable. Among these sensors, optical sensors have undergone expeditious development, providing good performance. In particular, ... -
Panchromatic study of star clusters: binaries, blue lurkers, blue stragglers and membership
Binary systems can evolve into immensely different exotic systems such as blue straggle stars (BSSs), yellow straggler stars, cataclysmic variables, type Ia supernovae depending on their initial mass, the orbital ... -
Particles and Fields in Partial-differential-equation Models for fluid and Superfluid Turbulence
We have shown that uniformly rotating vortex-containing gravitationally-bound solutions of the GPPE can be generated by starting the evolution from initial data obtained by integrating to convergence the (imaginary-time) ... -
Particles and Fields in Superfluid Turbulence : Numerical and Theoretical Studies
(2017-12-16)In this thesis we study a variety of problems in superfluid turbulence, princi-pally in two dimensions. A summary of the main results of our studies is given below; we indicate the Chapters in which we present these. In ... -
Performance Characterization Of A Cylindrical Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer
(2011-01-31)The cylindrical ion trap (CIT) is made up of two planar endcap electrodes and a cylindrical ring electrode. The investigation of simpler geometries like CIT has been started off in recent years with a view towards ... -
Peristaltic Flows With Some Applications
(2007-12-29)Peristalsis is a mechanism of pumping fluids in ducts when a progressive wave of area contraction or expansion propagates along the length of a distensible tube containing fluid. It induces in general propulsive and mixing ... -
Peristaltic Transport Of Biofluids

Phase Behaviour & Dynamics Of An Agitated Monolayer Of Granular Rods
(2010-10-05)In this thesis we have explored the no equilibrium phase behavior and dynamics of an agitated monolayer of macroscopic rod-like particles. The main objective of this thesis was to highlight the ways in which even the ... -
Phase Transitions And Magnetic Order In Multiferroic And Ferromagnetic Rare Earth Manganites
(2011-03-29)Recent findings of multiferroicity and magnetoelectric effects in rare earth manganites have fuelled research in this class of materials. These multiferroics can be structurally divided into two classes – orthorhombic and ... -
Phase Transitions And Relaxation Processes In Water And Glycerol-Water Binary Liquid Mixtures : Spin Probe ESR Sudies
(2010-11-18)A liquid Cooled below its normal freezing temperature is known as a supercooled liquid. On further cooling, supercooled liquids crystallize to thermodynamically stable, ordered structures. Alternatively, if the cooling ... -
Phases, Transitions, Patterns, And Excitations In Generalized Bose-Hubbard Models
(2016-09-12)This thesis covers most of my work in the field of ultracold atoms loaded in optical lattices. This thesis can be divided into five different parts. In Chapter 1, after a brief introduction to the field of optical lattices ... -
Phenomenological Explorations in Dark Matter
The previous decade has seen an explosive increase in explorations into the nature of dark matter (DM) encompassing astrophysical, particle and cosmological probes. We face today a large body of gravitational evidences ... -
Phenomenological Theory Of Superconductivity And Low-Energy Electronic Spectra In The High-Tc Cuprates
(2013-09-11)Condensed matter physics is a rapidly evolving field of research enriched with the synthesis of new materials exhibiting a bewildering variety of phenomena and advances in experimental techniques. Over the years, discoveries ... -
Phonon Anomalies And Phase Transitions In Pyrochlore Titanates, Boron Nitride Nanotubes And Multiferroic BiFeO3 : Temperature- And Pressure-Dependent Raman Studies
(2013-09-13)This thesis presents experimental and related theoretical studies of pyrochlore titanate oxides, boron nitride nanotubes, and multiferroic bismuth ferrite. We have investigated these systems at high pressures and at low ... -
Phonon anomalies in pyrochlores and 2D materials under extreme conditions: Insights from Raman spectroscopic studies
In solids, electrons do not behave as separate particles but instead interact intensely to form quasiparticles, which couple with other quasiparticles such as phonon, plasmon, and exciton to generate emergent quantum ...
