Studies on Single and Two Stage Stirling Type Pulse Tube Coolers of Low and Medium Capacities including Performance Enhancement of Pressure Wave GeneratoI and a Novel Helium Recondensation System
Cryocoolers are mechanical devices that produce cold at temperatures below -150oC. Work required to produce the cold is supplied by a Pressure Wave Generator (PWG). This thesis is concerned with the development and analysis ... -
Study of Photo-generated Charge Transport in Graphene-based Hybrid Structures
Hybrid structures involving atomic/molecular membranes from two or more layered materials are emerging as a platform for novel class of field effect transistors (FETs), p - n junctions, photo-detectors, photo-voltaic ... -
Study of Stellar Relics from the Early Galaxy
The thesis, in general aims at studying the early history of the Milky way through the chemical abundances of metal poor stars in the Halo and in the satellite galaxies of the Milky way. Halo of a galaxy is one of the early ... -
Topological Insulators and Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Under Extreme Conditions : Optical Studies
This thesis presents experimental as well as theoretical studies of three dimensional topological in-sulators (TIs) and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Raman spectroscopic measurements of these systems have been ... -
Topology and Quantum Phases of Low Dimensional Fermionic Systems
(2018-05-21)In this thesis, we study quantum phase transitions and topological phases in low dimensional fermionic systems. In the first part, we study quantum phase transitions and the nature of currents in one-dimensional systems, ... -
Turbulent Mixing of Multiple-Passive-Scalars
We have studied the mixing of multiple forced passive scalars in 3D homogeneous and isotropic turbulence. The trends of the structure functions for a single scalar, although not very well resolved, seem to be similar to ... -
Understanding DNA-Based Nanostructures using Molecular Simulation
(2018-05-14)Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is arguably the most studied and most important biological molecule. Recently, it has also been established as a potential candidate for nanoconstruction. Self-assembly of DNA molecules has ... -
Understanding the Behavior of the Sun's Large Scale Magnetic Field and Its Relation with the Meridional Flow
(2018-07-05)Our Sun is a variable star. The magnetic fields in the Sun play an important role for the existence of a wide variety of phenomena on the Sun. Among those, sunspots are the slowly evolving features of the Sun but solar ... -
Unfolding Operators in Various Oscillatory Domains : Homogenization of Optimal Control Problems
(2018-06-13)In this thesis, we study homogenization of optimal control problems in various oscillatory domains. Specifically, we consider four types of domains given in Figure 1 below. Figure 1: Oscillating Domains The thesis is ...
