Probing effect of disorder in the electrical and optical properties on van der Waals heterostructure
In this thesis, we studied the transport properties of single-layer graphene and single-layer to few-layer MoS2. We also studied the optical properties of MoS2 based single-layer, twisted bilayer devices. The main observations ... -
Probing Electronic States in Twisted Bilayer Graphene with Electric Fields: A study of Superconductivity, Non-Local Resistance, Magnetoresistance Hysteresis, and Thermoelectric Effects
Introducing a `twist' degree of freedom to modify the low energy band structures and engineer novel electronic phases from the constituent van der Waals 2D materials, was proposed theoretically more than a decade earlier ... -
Probing Higgs Boson Interactions At Future Colliders
(2010-11-11)We present in this thesis a detailed analysis of Higgs boson interactions at future colliders. In particular we examine, in a model independent way, the sensitivity of an Linear Collider in probing the interaction of ... -
Probing Magnetic And Structural Properties Of Metallic Nanowires Using Resistivity Noise
(2013-07-19)The main focus of this thesis work has been the study of domain wall (DW) dynamics in disordered cylindrical nanomagnets. The study attempts to accurately quantify the stochasticity associated with driven (temperature/magnetic ... -
Probing phase transition and anisotropy in magnetic insulator based heterostructures employing magnon spin currents
Thermoelectric phenomena like the Seebeck and Peltier effects are known for more than two centuries with a wide range of applications. In 2008 Uchida et al. first demonstrated the phenomena called Spin Seebeck Effect (SSE) ... -
A Probing System for Dynamic Mode Atomic Force Microscopy Based on Specialized Probes
The dynamic mode atomic force microscope (AFM) is a versatile tool that uses a resonantly excited micro-cantilever probe to obtain a sample’s topography and to characterize its material properties. While a number of useful ... -
A Probing System with Replaceable Tips for Three Dimensional Nano-Metrology
(2018-06-14)With increase in the number of three dimensional (3-D) nanometer-scale objects that are being either fabricated or studied, there is a need to accurately characterize their geometry. While the Atomic force microscope (AFM) ... -
Probing the Beyond Standard Model Physics in Top Quark and Dark Matter Sectors
(2018-05-22)The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics provides the theoretical framework to describe the fundamental interactions among elementary constituents of matter. SM is supported by experiments to a high degree of accuracy, ... -
Probing the inflationary universe and reheating with primordial black holes and induced gravitational wave background
The direct observational test for the earliest phase of our universe comes from cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, which can only probe up to the recombination era. The only definitive event during the pre-recombination ... -
Probing the Nature of Dark Matter in the Universe
The dark matter is the most dominating matter candidate and a key driving force for the structure formation in the universe. Despite decade-long searches, the precise nature and particle properties of dark matter are ... -
Projective Modules and the Quillen Suslin Theorem
The notion of a module over a ring is a generalization of that of a vector space over a field k. The axioms are identical. But whereas every vector space possesses a basis, a module need not always have one. Modules ... -
Prolate Shaped Dark Matter Halo And The Galactic Warp
(2016-04-26)The physical explanation for the existence of the galactic warp is one of the major research areas in Astronomy. People have proposed various theories but nobody has yet given a convincing explanation. Most of the spiral ... -
Prompt and Displaced Signatures of Physics Beyond the Standard Model
The quest to understand our Universe’s fundamental particles and their interactions has led us to the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. Despite successfully explaining the weak, electromagnetic, and strong ... -
Property Modulation Of Zinc Oxide Through Doping
(2009-04-24)Semi conductors are of technological importance and attracted many of the re-searchers. ZnO belongs to the family of II-VI semiconductors and has material properties well suitable to UV light emitters, varistors, Schottky ... -
Proposals for probing BSM in unexplored corners of Top physics and Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM)
Despite its triumphs, the Standard Model (SM) fails to address many experimental observations and theoretical puzzles. Explanation of these necessitates postulation of new physics beyond those in the SM (BSM). The thesis ... -
