Phases, Transitions, Patterns, And Excitations In Generalized Bose-Hubbard Models
(2016-09-12)This thesis covers most of my work in the field of ultracold atoms loaded in optical lattices. This thesis can be divided into five different parts. In Chapter 1, after a brief introduction to the field of optical lattices ... -
Flow Induced Instabilities, Shear-Thickening And Fluctuation Relations In Sheared Soft Matter
(2016-09-09)In day to day life we encounter many different materials which are intermediate between crystalline solids and simple liquids that include paints , glues , suspensions, polymers, surfactants, food and cosmetic products and ... -
Grothendieck Inequality
(2016-06-20)Grothendieck published an extraordinary paper entitled ”Resume de la theorie metrique des pro¬duits tensoriels topologiques” in 1953. The main result of this paper is the inequality which is commonly known as Grothendieck ... -
Raman Spectroscopy Of Graphene And Graphene Analogue MoS2 Transistors
(2016-06-18)The thesis presents experimental studies of device characteristics and vibrational properties of atomic layer thin graphene and molybdenum disulphide (MoS2). We carried out Raman spectroscopic studies on field effect ... -
Prolate Shaped Dark Matter Halo And The Galactic Warp
(2016-04-26)The physical explanation for the existence of the galactic warp is one of the major research areas in Astronomy. People have proposed various theories but nobody has yet given a convincing explanation. Most of the spiral ... -
Mesophases Of Active Matter : Translational Order, Critical Rheology And Electrostatics
(2016-04-26)This thesis consists of research work in the broad area of soft condensed matter theory with a focus on active matter. The study of long wavelength, low frequency collective behavior of active particles (bacterial suspensions, ... -
Model Studies Of The Hot And Dense Strongly Interacting Matter
(2016-04-25)Ultra-relativisitic heavy ion collisions produce quark gluon plasma-a hot and dense soup of deconfined quarks and gluons akin to the early universe. We study two models in the context of these collisions namely, Polyakov ... -
Analyzing Credit Risk Models In A Regime Switching Market
(2016-04-25)Recently, the financial world witnessed a series of major defaults by several institutions and investment banks. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that credit risk analysis have turned out to be one of the most important ... -
Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors : An Exploration Of Applications In Diverse Fields
(2016-03-01)Sensors have become essential elements in human life for safe and comfortable existence in the ever demanding world. Various technologies over decades have contributed in their own way fulfilling innumerable sensing ... -
Investigations Of Magnetic Anisotropy In Ferromagnetic Thin Films And Its Applications
(2016-02-17)Physical systems having dimensions smaller than, or of the same order of magnitude as, the characteristic length scale relevant to a physical property are referred to as mesoscopic physical systems. Due to the dimensions ... -
Confinement, Coarsening And Nonequilibrium Fluctuations In Glassy And Yielding Systems
(2016-02-17)One of the most important and interesting unsolved problems of science is the nature of glassy dynamics and the glass transition. It is quite an old problem, and starting from the early20th century there have been many ... -
Elasticity And Structural Phase Transitions Of Nanoscale Objects
(2015-12-14)Elastic properties of carbon nanotubes (CNT), boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT), double stranded DNA (dsDNA), paranemic-juxtapose crossover (PX-JX) DNA and dendrimer bound DNA are discussed in this thesis. Structural phase ... -
Riesz Transforms Associated With Heisenberg Groups And Grushin Operators
(2015-12-08)We characterise the higher order Riesz transforms on the Heisenberg group and also show that they satisfy dimension-free bounds under some assumptions on the multipliers. We also prove the boundedness of the higher order ... -
