Disorder in materials often brings in new and exotic physical properties along with it. It is thus very important to study different kinds of disorder and their implications on various material properties. In this thesis, ...

There was a fame time for silicon in condensed matter physics, then the graphene era came and now topological insulators are gaining lot of attention, but magnetism in condensed matter physics has remained always fascinating ...

The work presented in this thesis has two parts. The first part deals with methodological developments in the area of solid-state NMR, relevant to the study of partially ordered systems. Liquid crystals are best examples ...

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 ...

Magnetism in a solid | dia, para, ferro, or of other forms | originates majorly from its electrons; one could, infact, ignore the nuclear contribution. There are two types of electrons in a solid: bound, and free (also ...

The present work, briefly described below, consists of implementation of several quantum algorithms in an NMR Quantum Information Processor. Game theory gives us mathematical tools to analyze situations of conflict between ...

Genetic algorithms (GA) are stochastic global search methods based on the mechanics of natural biological evolution, proposed by John Holland in 1975. Here in this thesis, we have exploited possible utilities of Genetic ...

In recent days, the need for device miniaturization has led to immense research activities in the field of material science. It has become essential to discover and design new materials or to modify the existing materials ...

Nonlinear optics and ferroelectrics have been recognized for several decades as promising fields with important applications in the area of opto-electronics, photonics, memory devices, etc. High performance electro-optical ...
