Studies of Topological Phases of Matter : Presence of Boundary Modes and their Role in Electrical Transport
(2018-05-21)
Topological phases of matter represent a new phase which cannot be understood in terms of Landau’s theory of symmetry breaking and are characterized by non-local topological properties emerging from purely local (microscopic) ...
The Higgs Boson as a Probe of Physics Beyond the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider
(2018-05-08)
The nature of interactions of fundamental particles is governed by symmetries. These interactions are well described by an elegant and simple SU(3)c x SU(2)L x U(1)Y symmetric gauge theory that we call the Standard Model ...
X-Ray Crystallographic Studies Of Designed Peptides : Characterization Of Novel Secondary Structures Of Peptides Containing Conformationally Constrained α-, β- And γ-Amino Acids And Polymorphic Peptide Helices
(2010-10-21)
Structural studies of peptides are of great importance in developing novel and effective biomaterials ranging from drugs and vaccines to nano materials with industrial applications. In addition, they provide model systems ...
X-Ray Crystallographic Studies Of Designed Peptides : Characterization Of Self-Assembled Peptide Nanotubes With Encapsulated Water Wires And β-Hairpins As Model Systems For β-Sheet Folding
(2011-08-08)
The study of synthetic peptides aid in improving our current understanding of the fundamental principles for the de novo design of functional proteins. The investigation of designed peptides has been instrumental in providing ...
Structure And Dynamics Of Polymers In Confinement
(2011-02-07)
The thesis describes the study of structure and dynamics of polymers in confined geometry. We study the finite size effect on the dynamics of non glassy and glassy polymers. Systematic measurement have been performed to ...
Single Pulse Studies Of Wide Profile Drifting Pulsars - A Probe Of Pulsar Magnetospheres
(2011-02-07)
The detailed nature of radio emission processes of pulsars and the exact location and distribution of the pulse emitting regions are still shrouded with mystery. Pulsars with drifting subpulses are considered as an important ...
Growth And Physical Properties Of Nonlinear Optical Crystals CsH(C4H4O5)H2O, CsLiB6O10 And Near-Stoichiometric LiNbO3
(2011-01-18)
NLO materials have been researched for nearly five decades from the point of view of understanding the basic mechanisms and also in the pursuit of new materials possessing improved properties. Materials satisfying a set ...
Phase Transitions And Magnetic Order In Multiferroic And Ferromagnetic Rare Earth Manganites
(2011-03-29)
Recent findings of multiferroicity and magnetoelectric effects in rare earth manganites have fuelled research in this class of materials. These multiferroics can be structurally divided into two classes – orthorhombic and ...
NMR Relaxation And Charge Transport In Conducting Polymers
(2010-10-14)
Conducting and semiconducting polymers, consisting of delocalized π-electrons, have been studied for the past three decades. These materials have shown novel physical properties with interesting applications in batteries, ...
Phase Transitions And Relaxation Processes In Water And Glycerol-Water Binary Liquid Mixtures : Spin Probe ESR Sudies
(2010-11-18)
A liquid Cooled below its normal freezing temperature is known as a supercooled liquid. On further cooling, supercooled liquids crystallize to thermodynamically stable, ordered structures. Alternatively, if the cooling ...
