Mesonic screening mass at zero and finite chemical potential
The finite temperature analysis of QCD is challenging since perturbation theory is not applicable in that regime. A non-perturbative method like lattice QCD is thus required to obtain an estimate of the necessary observables. ... -
Edible Battery Design for Bio-Medical applications
This thesis is focused on the development of digestible electronics for healthcare. The vision is the development of an edible pill that performs diagnosis inside the body. Any such edible device needs an energy source ... -
Quantized heat flow probing thermal equilibration and edge structures of quantum Hall phases in graphene
In condensed matter physics, usually, phases are described using Landau’s approach, which characterizes the phases in terms of underlying symmetries that are spontaneously broken. Over the past few decades, a different ... -
Detection of charge-neutral modes to spin-wave excitations in graphene quantum Hall, and periodic magnetic field effect on Dirac electrons
In the quantum Hall (QH) regime, the electrical transport happens along the downstream chiral edge modes (dictated by the external magnetic field) while the bulk remains a vanilla insulator. However, it has been theoretically ... -
Investigation of twisted bilayer graphene using electrical and thermoelectric transport
The ability to tune the twist angle between di erent layers of two-dimensional materials has opened up a new dimension to band engineering in van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. By taking advantage of the formation of ... -
On Hypergeometric solutions of Feynman integrals using Mellin-Barnes Integrals with Applications
Experimental measurements of physical observables in particle colliders rely on high-precision theoretical calculations to validate the predictions of any theoretical model and detect signals of new physics. These theoretical ... -
Microscopic Analysis of Self Healing Circuits Using Image Processing
Open circuit faults are common circuit failure mechanism in Thin Film Transistor (TFT) integrated circuits or Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). Thin film Transistors are widely used in flexible electronics and are ... -
Carbon Dots for Next-generation Artificial Lighting Devices
Energy conservation has become a major concern globally in today’s world and artificial lighting (AL) accounts to ~50% of total energy consumption. With increase in population accompanied by modern civilization there is a ... -
Study on optical and electrical transport properties of twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides
Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, where dissimilar atomically thin vdW crystals are vertically assembled, have initiated a new paradigm to create flexible multifunctional devices. Despite the weak nature of vdW ... -
Dynamics and Transport Properties in Polymer Nanocomposites: Role of Interfacial Entropic and Enthalpic Effects
Polymers embedded with nanoparticles polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) have emerged as a new class of hybrid materials, which combine the unique electronic, mechanical, magnetic, catalytic, and optical properties of nanoparticles ... -
Deep learning methods for light fluence compensation in two-dimensional and three-dimensional photoacoustic imaging
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) employed the special properties of light or photons to obtain detailed images of organs, tissues, cells, and even molecules. The method allowed for a non-invasive or minimally invasive examination ... -
Weights of highest weight modules over Kac-Moody algebras
In this dissertation, broadly, we treat the weight-sets of arbitrary highest weight modules (uniformly) over all general complex Kac-Moody Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}$, achieving the below. We obtain a uniform, explicit, ... -
A Study of the X-ray Variability and Accretion Mechanism in High Mass X-ray Binary Pulsars
High-mass X-ray binaries are among the most luminous X-ray sources. They host an accreting compact object (more often a neutron star) and a massive (M > 10 M⊙) donor star. They are among the earliest discovered X-ray sources ... -
Complexity and Entanglement: From quantum gravity to many-body systems
In recent years, complexity and entanglement have emerged as two fundamental computational measures and played a significant role in shaping our understanding of various phenomena, from the geometric nature of quantum ... -
Lab to Point-of-Need Technology: Solving the A3 puzzle of in-vitro diagnostics
The role of medical diagnostics is morphing rapidly in the face of imminent challenges such as pandemic preparedness. Correspondingly, in-vitro diagnostics are evolving — growing beyond the traditional Centralized Diagnostic ... -
Hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic instabilities leading to turbulence in astrophysical accretion disks and their connection to laboratory shear flows
Accretion disks are astrophysical objects formed around a denser object, mainly in the form of a disk. In an accretion disk, matter spirals in and falls onto the central object. To match the observations, the underlying ... -
Experimental Investigation of Electrons In and Above Liquid Helium
Electrons on the surface of liquid helium form a nearly ideal 2-dimensional electron system (2DES). An electron density up to 2 × 10^9 cm-2, known as the critical electron density, can be achieved on the liquid helium ... -
Explorations in the Space of S-Matrices
S-matrix is one of the fundamental observables of the quantum theory of relativistic particles. The quantum dynamics of relativistic particles can be abstractly understood in terms of S-matrix bypassing a Lagrangian ... -
An electromagnetically actuated mesoscale ball and socket joint for applications in 3-D metrology and electrical characterization
Micro-robotics is concerned with development of robotic systems to manipulate micro-meter sized objects. To develop functional micro-robotic manipulators, it is necessary to develop joints that possess large motion range ... -
Self-healing in Space Electronics Circuits
Self-healing in space electronics carries the possibility of creating a paradigm shift in engineering space systems with lesser complexity and mass. Space electronics plays a crucial role in the success of a mission as it ...
