Experimental and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of Viscosity of Polymer Nanocomposites
(2018-08-29)One of the important dynamic parameter characterizing the properties of polymer nanocomposite is viscosity. It is a quantity of interest on macroscopic scale also. A thorough study of viscosity in case of polymer nanocomposite ... -
Fermi Bubbles and Galactic Outflows in Circumgalactic Medium
Galactic outflows play an important role in the formation and evolution of galaxies by regulating the star formation rate (SFR) within them and by throwing out metals into the intergalactic medium (IGM). They are key to ... -
Force and Shape Estimation using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors for Assistance in Minimally Invasive Diagnostic and Surgical Procedures
Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors have become increasingly popular for applications in biomedical engineering. Amongst these, use of FBGs in ‘smart instruments’ for minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical procedures ... -
Fringe Projection Technique for Deformation Measurements under Impact Loading
(2018-07-05)High-resolution three-dimensional (3D) shape reconstruction of objects has huge potential for applications in the field of design, security, entertainment, biomedicine, industrial quality control etc. Of the available ... -
Fully Solution Processed Flash Memory
The field of advanced solution processed spin-coated electronics has rapidly expanded over the last few decades towards the development of low-cost, large area and low power consumer electronics for the design of ... -
Geometrical and Topological Properties of CMB Polarization Fields
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is a relic from the early Universe. It was generated due to the physical processes in the early Universe during an epoch known as the recombination or decoupling epoch. The CMB has highly ... -
Glassy Dynamics in Active Matter
There has been much interest in the glassy dynamics of living systems at the scales of subcellular structures, cells and tissues. This has motivated theoretical studies on the approach to glassy behaviour in dense systems ... -
Graph Spectral Methods for Analysis of Protein Structures
Network representation of protein structures is an information-rich mode of examining protein structure, dynamics and its interactions with biomolecules. Graph spectral methods are extremely useful and powerful in analysing ... -
Homogeneous Operators
(2018-06-13)A bounded operator T on a complex separable Hilbert space is said to be homogeneous if '(T ) is unitarily equivalent to T for all ' in M•ob, where M•ob is the M•obius group. A complete description of all homogeneous weighted ... -
Investigations and Stabilization of Vortex States in Cobalt and Permalloy Nanorings in Contact with Nanowires
(2018-07-09)Magnetic nanorings are the object of increasing scientific interest because they possess the vortex (stray field free) state which ensures lower magnetostatic interactions between adjacent ring elements in high packing ... -
Iridates, Black Phosphorus, Weyl and Dirac Semimetals Under Extreme Conditions : Raman Study
This thesis presents Raman studies of Sodium iridates (Na2IrO3 and Na4Ir3O8), VO2, black phosphorus, Weyl (TaAs, TaP, NbP and NbAs) and Dirac (Cd3As2) semimetals under ex-treme conditions like low temperature (upto 4K), ... -
Laser Beam Induced Conductance Modulations as a Potential Microprobe in the Investigation of Defects and Inhomogeneities in Bulk Si and PbS, HgCdTe Quantum Dot Heterostructures
(2018-05-18)In this thesis, the strength of the LBIC system is enhanced in different aspects that includes its feasibility as a non-destructive characterization tool, the signal analysis and development of analytical solution to have ... -
Light-sheet Lithography for Generating Micro/Nano-Structures
Over the past few decades, the study of field distribution at the geometrical focus of a lens (PSF) has gained a huge research interest in field ranging from Nanolithography to microscopy. The central theme of this thesis ... -

Multifunctional materials with novel magnetic and electric properties have attracted intense research interest due to prospects in technological applications as well as understanding of fundamental physics. Perovskite ... -
Material and Mechanical Aspects of Thin Film Coatings for Strain Sensing Application on Aero Engines
Aero engines are one of the most complex machines on this planet and have propelled the necessity of advanced material technologies. Health monitoring of the engine is performed by a variety of sensors and amongst these ... -
Multiple Stable States and Abrupt Transitions in Spatial Ecosystems
Ecosystems can exhibit multiple stable states at similar external conditions. Such systems shift from one stable state to another abruptly and discontinuously, when they cross certain threshold parameters. Some examples ... -
Non-invasive Elastic Property Recovery of Tissue and Tissue-Like Objects from Ultrasound Excited Resonant Modes
This thesis is on non-invasive elastic property measurement of tissue or tissue-mimicking materials through vibro-acoustography and ultrasound assisted diffusing wave spectroscopy (UA-DWS). Towards this, a known force is ... -
