A Study of Some Conformal Metrics and Invariants on Planar Domains
The main aim of this thesis is to explain the behaviour of some conformal metrics and invariants near a smooth boundary point of a domain in the complex plane. We will be interested in the invariants associated to the ... -
Decomposition of the tensor product of Hilbert modules via the jet construction and weakly homogeneous operators
Let ½ Cm be a bounded domain and K :£!C be a sesqui-analytic function. We show that if ®,¯ È 0 be such that the functions K® and K¯, defined on £, are non-negative definite kernels, then theMm(C) valued function ... -
Interplay of Interaction and Topology From Topological Band Theory to Topological Field Theory
Classification of phases of matter has long been a central point of interest in the research community in condensed matter physics. Over the past several decades mainly two kinds of classification schemes have emerged, ... -
Heavy flavour and direct photon probes of the gluon Sivers function
Traditionally the production of heavy quarkonia, heavy-flavour mesons as well as of direct photons, has been used to constrain the gluon density inside the proton. In this thesis, I have assessed various heavy flavour ... -
Frequency and Temperature Dependent Mechanical Behavior of Three-Dimensional Cellular Structures of Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes: Role of Microscopic Interfacial Interaction
Three dimensional (3D) cellular structures with high mechanical strength and stability are recently proven to provide a crucial platform for multifunctional application in various fields namely biomedical, soft robotics, ... -
Trace Estimate For The Determinant Operator And K- Homogeneous Operators
Let $\boldsymbol T=(T_1, \ldots , T_d)$ be a $d$- tuple of commuting operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. Assume that $\boldsymbol T$ is hyponormal, that is, $\big [\!\!\big [ \boldsymbol T^*, \boldsymbol T \big ]\!\! ... -
Point-of-need analyte detection using dsDNA-templated fluorescent copper nanoparticles
The detection of various types of pollutants, toxins, and adulterants that are detrimental to the environment and human health is essential for monitoring air, water, soil, and food quality. Technologies that enable the ... -
Probing phase transition and anisotropy in magnetic insulator based heterostructures employing magnon spin currents
Thermoelectric phenomena like the Seebeck and Peltier effects are known for more than two centuries with a wide range of applications. In 2008 Uchida et al. first demonstrated the phenomena called Spin Seebeck Effect (SSE) ... -
Particles and Fields in Partial-differential-equation Models for fluid and Superfluid Turbulence
We have shown that uniformly rotating vortex-containing gravitationally-bound solutions of the GPPE can be generated by starting the evolution from initial data obtained by integrating to convergence the (imaginary-time) ... -
Impact of van der Waals epitaxy on structural and optoelectronic properties of layered solids
Emergence of Graphene, Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and other van der Waals materials promises to rede fine the building blocks of the future materials and technologies. These materials have gained enormous ... -
Modified-graphene and carbon nanodots for nitrogen dioxide sensing: Effects of interfacial electronic modulation and dimensionality on gas interaction
Currently, there is an enormous demand for the development of high performance nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas sensors for environmental pollution monitoring. Hence, there is a constant quest to replace traditional metal oxide ... -
Topological Phases, Majorana Modes, Dynamics and Transport in One-Dimensional Systems
This thesis presents work done on topological phases, Majorana modes, dynamics and transport in various system like the Kitaev models in one and two dimensions and systems with junctions of a p-wave superconductor and ... -
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and Magnetic Studies of Certain Doped Rare Earth Manganites
Doped rare-earth manganites with the general formula T1xDxMnO3 where `T' is a trivalent rare earth ion, e.g. La3+;Nd3+; Pr3+ etc. and `D' is a divalent alkaline earth ion, e.g Ca2+; Sr2+;Ba2+ etc. display various ... -
Exploring Electron Bubbles in Liquid Helium using Cavitation
An electron entering liquid helium experiences a repulsive potential of 1 eV. This originates in the interaction between the injected electron and electrons of the closed shells of helium atoms through Pauli exclusion ... -
Lessons for Gravity from Entanglement
One of the recent fundamental developments in theoretical high energy physics is the AdS/CFT correspondence [1, 2, 3, 4] which posits a relationship between Quantum Field Theories (QFT) in a given dimension and String ... -
