Novel spin, charge, and lattice dynamics in pyrochlore iridates : Raman and X-ray diffraction studies at low temperatures and high pressure
This thesis investigates phonon dynamics, electronic, and spin excitations along with structural instabilities and phase transitions in rare earth pyrochlore iridates, A2Ir2O7 (A = Pr, Gd, Dy, and Er) and Bi-doped Sm2Ir2O7 ...
Multiscale Modeling of Molecular Sieve Membranes
Gases permeating through nanopores experience selective adsorption with sub-diffusive dynamics. In this work we investigate how the physicochemical properties of nanoporous membranes influence adsorption dynamics of gases, ...
Studies of Models of Superfluids from Nanometres to Astrophysical Scales
In this thesis, we study various models of superfluids applicable across a broad range of systems, from laboratory flows to astrophysical scales. At zero temperature, we utilize the Gross-Pitaevskii model of superfluid 4He ...
Dielectric, AC Conductivity, and EMI Shielding studies of PEDOT-PSS Nanocomposites with Carbon based Fillers
Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) have emerged as a significant material for addressing two critical contemporary challenges: the escalating global energy demand and the pervasive electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues. The ...
Electrical Transport and Point Contact Spectroscopy in Core-Shell Bimetallic Nanostructures
An extensively pursued strategy for realizing new materials is the creation of interfaces between two similar or dissimilar systems, which can invoke multiple processes like electronic reconstruction, strain-induced ...
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 ...
Quantum Glass, Spin Liquids, Fragmentation, Fractional Orbitals, and Flat Band Physics in Classical and Quantum Spin Models
The world of many-body physics, encompassing both classical and quantum systems, is a breeding ground for novel phases of matter. Recent attention revolves around exotic phases characterized by fractionalized particles, ...
Chaos, entanglement, and non-equilibrium dynamics in Hermitian and non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems
Quantum chaos and entanglement have appeared as two key intertwined concepts to characterize fundamental quantum correlations of quantum many-body states and to understand the emergence of thermal and non-thermal steady ...
Fluctuation Driven Collective Phenomena in Electron Doped Quantum Paraelectric: KTaO3
The study of quantum phase transitions, in which a system undergoes a change in its ground state and physical properties due to quantum fluctuations at absolute zero temperature, stands as one of the most celebrated themes ...
Spectroscopic study of emitter assemblies coupled to Plasmonic nano-cavities and metamaterials
The plasma oscillations of noble metals as silver and gold are well understood from the free electron model of metals. In the past two decades, due to the availability of various physical and chemical fabrication methods ...
