Tenfold Classification for Interacting Fermions and Relation with Homogeneous Spaces
Topological classifi cation of topological insulator superconductor, various quantum Hall states are probably the most discussed topic in theoretical quantum condensed matter community as well as many mathematicians ... -
Vertically aligned carbon nanostructures using ECR plasma and their applications
Vertically aligned carbon nanostructures are a type of carbon nanomaterial in which nanostructures are aligned lengthwise perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. In this thesis work, two vertically aligned carbon ... -
Study of Optoelectronic Properties of Quantum Emitter Assemblies Coupled to Graphene, Photonic and Plasmonic Materials
Nano-photonics deals with different ways to control light-matter interactions beyond the diffraction limit. In contrast to optics, which is the concept of light rays, including absorption, transmission, and reflection, ... -
Aspects of conformal field theories at finite temperature
In this thesis we have studied broadly two aspects of thermal field theory. We began by examining how the macroscopic system (described by relativistic hydrodynamics) behalves in presence of microscopic anomalies. We ... -
Structural connectivity correlates of human cognition explored with diffusion MRI and tractography
Intact structural connectivity among brain regions is critical to cognition. Structural connectivity forms the substratum for information flow between brain regions, and its plasticity is a hallmark of learning in the ... -
Structural Insights into Peptide Foldamers Containing β or γ Amino Acid Residues Gained Using NMR Spectroscopy
The work reported in this thesis is focused on understanding the conformational properties of peptide foldamers containing β or γ amino acid residues. Chapter 1 includes a brief state-of-the-art literature review on peptide ... -
Novel Pathways for Beyond Standard Model Physics
In the light of discovering the Higgs boson and null results at the LHC, we look for new pathways for Beyond Standard Model Physics, which could accommodate at least one of the Standard Model shortcomings. (i) Unification ... -
Magnetically arrested advective accretion flows around black holes and their implications to ultraluminous X-ray sources and blazars
Black hole (BH) accretions are very powerful sources of energy in the universe. In accretion phenomena, the surrounding gas spirals down towards the central BH and forms a disc or quasi-spherical structure based on the ... -
Tuning of Spin Reorientation and Compensation Transitions in Ferrites
Ferrites have attracted the attention of scientists and engineers in the last few years because of a combination of ferrimagnetic and insulating character. This makes them suitable for high frequency devices in telecommunication ... -
Algorithmic and Hardness Results for Fundamental Fair-Division Problems
The theory of fair division addresses the fundamental problem of dividing a set of resources among the participating agents in a satisfactory or meaningfully fair manner. This thesis examines the key computational challenges ... -
Dynamics of glass forming liquids with emphasis on vibrational modes
The potential energy landscape (PEL) description is regarded as one of the fundamental landmarks in the theory of glass transition, which has found wide applications not only in the understanding of disordered materials ... -
Investigations on structural, optical and electrical properties of lattice matching CdZnTe & HgCdTe colloidal quantum dot systems for possible core-shell structures in optoelectronic devices
In this work, alloyed II-VI group CdZnTe, HgCdTe colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have been synthesised and their optical, material, electrical properties are studied for optoelectronic applications. The bandgap of the alloyed ... -
Tuning the electrical and thermoelectric properties of bilayer graphene by band engineering
Graphene and its two dimensional (2D) analogues have sustained the interests of the researchers for quite some time because of the rich physics they offer including many quantum phenomena and non-trivial topological ... -
Design and Development of Cryogenic Transfer Lines and Studies on Flow Phenomena
Cryogenics refers to the field of science and engineering below 123 K (-150 ºC). Also it deals with the production, utilization and maintenance of the same. Below 123 K, the so called “Permanent gases” such as Argon, ... -
Shape and Load Estimation using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors for Structural Health Monitoring of Aircraft Structures
Aerospace structures are exposed to severe loading and environmental conditions, which necessitates constant inspection and maintenance to improve safety and reliability. Currently, the aerospace industry largely depends ... -
Study of Structure and Dynamics of Bioactive Natural and Synthetic Peptides by NMR Spectroscopy and In silico Methods.
