Positivity preservers forbidden to operate on diagonal blocks
The question of which functions acting entrywise preserve positive semidefiniteness has a long history, beginning with the Schur product theorem [Crelle 1911], which implies that absolutely monotonic functions (i.e., ... -
Positivity properties of the deformed Hermitian-Yang--Mills and related equations
In the first part of the talk, we briefly introduce the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills (dHYM) equation and discuss a result regarding the solvability of the twisted dHYM equation on compact Kähler three-folds with slightly ... -
A Posteriori Error Analysis of Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Elliptic Variational Inequalities
(2018-02-15)The main emphasis of this thesis is to study a posteriori error analysis of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for the elliptic variational inequalities. The DG methods have become very pop-ular in the last two decades ... -

Precision Measurements of the Radio Background at Long Wavelengths
(2018-05-09)The study of continuum sky background spectrum at low radio frequencies has achieved specific importance in present day observational cosmology . At these low frequencies the sky continuum is contributed by the extragalactic ... -
A Preliminary Investigation Of The Role Of Magnetic Fields In Axially Symmetric rf Ion Traps
(2013-07-16)Axially symmetric rf ion traps consists of a mass analyser having three electrodes, one of which is a central ring electrode and the other two are endcap electrodes. In the ideal Paul trap mass spectrometer, the electrodes ... -
A Preliminary Study Of Fields In Split-Electrode Ion Traps
(2014-08-20)Ion traps used in mass spectrometers are of two classes. One class consists of traps having three electrode geometries which have rotational symmetry about central axis. They are called axially symmetric ion traps. Paul ... -

(2018-04-16)This thesis summarizes the methods of preparation and optical properties of hybrid assemblies of Au NPs and cadmium selenide (CdSe) QDs. First chap-ter deals with the literature survey and theoretical aspects of plasmonics ... -
Preparation, Characterization And Ionic Conductivity Studies On Certain Fast Ionic Conductors
(2011-01-20)Fast ionic conductors, i.e. materials in which charge transport mainly occurs through the motion of ions, are an important class of materials with immense scope for industrial applications. There are different classes of ... -
Pressure Sensor Development Using Hard Anodized Aluminum Diaphragm And Thin Film Strain Gauges
(2008-01-16)The sensor is a device that converts a form of energy concerning which the information is sought, called the measurand, to a form (electrical) in which it can be usefully processed or interpreted. Sensors rely on physical ... -
Probing Accretion Geometries of X-ray Pulsars using Cyclotron Resonant Scattering Features
Cyclotron Resonant Scattering Features (CRSFs) appear as absorption-like features in the hard X-ray spectra of accretion-powered pulsars and provide a direct measure of neutron star magnetic fields. Their correlation or ... -
Probing Anisotropic Interactions In Solid State NMR : Techniques And Applications
(2011-06-30)The thesis aims at methodological developments in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and study of oriented samples like liquid crystals and single crystals and powder samples. Though methodological development in solid state ... -
Probing charge-density waves and superconductivity in low-dimensional systems
The recent advent of two-dimensional materials has led to the discovery of materials with fascinating phase diagrams. These systems have exciting electronic phases which coexist or compete with each other. Here in this ... -
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 ... -
