Correlation Functions in the Finite Toom Model
This thesis is divided into four chapters. In Chapter 1, we give some basic definitions and results that we need throughout the thesis. In Chapter 2, we describe the pn0;n1q-Toom model and prove some known results about ... -
Correlation, superconductivity, and topology in twisted and untwisted layered systems
This thesis is an effort to understand some of the interesting features induced by strong correlation - superconductivity, topology, non-Fermi liquid (NFL) in two dimensional (2D) layered materials. 2D layered materials ... -
The Cosmic Population of Extended Radio Sources : A Radio-Optical Study
(2017-09-27)This thesis presents studies of cosmic populations of extragalactic radio sources. The problems selected for this thesis are 1) the derivation of constraints on the emergence of new sub-mJy populations at flux density below ... -
Coulomb drag to thermopower response in dimensionally mismatched InAs nanowire-Graphene heterostructures and anisotropic noise in ReS2
Coulomb drag technique is a notable tool for probing electron-electron interaction in double-layer systems, where the momentum and energy transfer from one layer to the other layer as a result of Coulomb interaction. In ... -
