Design and analysis of a miniaturized Atomic Force Microscope scan head
An Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscope used for nano-scale characterization, topography imaging and manipulation of conducting and insulating samples, at sub-nanometer resolution. Its ... -
The Role of Physiology, Geometry and Mechanics in Some Cardiac Arrhythmias
Chapter 1: We start with a brief introduction about the history and modern perspective, of cardiac literature, some description of the models we use for the electrophysiology simulations. Chapter 2 Focal arrhythmias, ... -
Symmetric real-closed subsets of affine Kac-Moody Lie Algebras
In this thesis, we study some important classification problems related to affine Kac--Moody Lie algebras. First, we address the combinatorial problem of classifying symmetric real-closed subsets of affine root systems ... -
Simulations and modeling of multiphase gas in the circumgalactic medium
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) plays a critical role in galactic evolution, serving as a complex gaseous environment that hosts most of a galaxy's baryonic matter and mediates intricate gas flows. This thesis presents ... -
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, ... -
Observational study of decayless waves across different scales in the solar corona
The long-standing problem of coronal heating focuses on probing sources that can continuously supply energy to sustain million-degree temperatures. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves play a crucial role because their dissipation ... -
Computation of Induced Eddy Currents in Axially Symmetric Geometries Using the Coupled Inductor Method
The computation of eddy currents is essential in applications including induction heating, magnetic levitation, and non-destructive testing. Usually, the numerical solution of partial differential equations derived from ... -
Study of Optical Coupling of Excitons & Trions in Colloidal Quantum Wells with Photonic Metasurface Resonators & Microcavities
Quantum photonics held immense potential for applications such as quantum metrology and cryptography. In this thesis, we investigated the optical properties of colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) integrated with photonic ... -
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 ... -
Synthesis, characterization and morphology control of colloidal MoS2 quantum dots and their applications
The quantum dots (QDs) are known as artificial atoms due to their size of the order of 2-10 nm. After their discovery in 1980, QDs have attracted significant attention due to their enhanced optical, electronic, and chemical ... -
Explorations of singularities in some hydrodynamical partial differential equations
The global regularity problem for the 3D Euler equations remains unsolved. The presence of finite-time singularities (FTS) can signal the breakdown of the PDE as a physical model for fluid flow; it is also conjectured to ... -
Studies of light-matter interaction in driven circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) systems
Quantum information processing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that classical systems cannot. The principle of superposition and entanglement can allow quantum computers to solve ... -
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 ... -
Interfacial engineering to reduce switching current in perpendicularly magnetized Pt/Co/Pt system for memory applications
Tuning the interfacial properties of heavy metal (HM)/ Ferromagnet (FM)/ heavy metal (HM) thin film systems with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) has attracted massive attention in the recent past because of their ... -
Lagrangian dispersion statistics of compressible turbulence
Turbulent transport of mass, momentum and energy are ubiquitous across physical processes spanning a vast expanse of scales, from the formation of clouds, the transport of pollutants and nutrients across oceans, and the ... -
