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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Dielectric property studies on Poly vinylidene fluoride composites with Graphene Oxide and functionalized Carbon nanotube fillers
Embargo up to November 1, 2025 Graphene Oxide (GO) and functionalized Carbon nanotubes (FCNT) are promising materials in the field of polymer composites due to their ability to disperse nicely in the polymer matrix. The ... -
Particles and Fields in Active Turbulence
I have extended various facets of modern turbulence theory to hydrodynamic models of dense bacterial suspensions, which show turbule= nt-like patterns, dubbed active turbulence. By using direct numerical simulations (DNSs) ... -
Interplay of Electrons and Phonons in 2D Materials
Since the seminal study by Cao et al. in 2018, that revealed the emergence of superconductivity and correlated insulating behaviour in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), there has been a surge of exciting discoveries in moiré ... -
Complex magnetism and structural phase transition in correlated oxide systems
Perovskite and pyrochlore materials constitute a profoundly intriguing and extensively studied family owing to their diverse magnetic and structural properties. we thoroughly explored the structure and magnetism of the ... -
Investigation into flux-coupled electromechanical devices
Cavity optomechanical systems involve modulation of the resonance frequency of an optical cavity by the motion of a mechanical resonator. These systems are used to control and manipulate mechanical motion down to the quantum ... -
Realization of Type-II Dirac Semi-metal in NiTe2 using Structural, Electrical and Magnetic Investigation
Dirac semimetal (DSM) is a topological semi-metal with a fourfold degenerate linear band crossing in the bulk, in the presence of time-reversal symmetry and inversion symme- try, exhibiting nontrivial spin-momentum locking ... -
Nanoscale spatial and temporal response of lipid membranes interacting with biomolecules and nanoparticles
The cell membrane is the first point of interaction whenever any external biomolecule or nanoparticle encounters a cell. Thus the nature of interactions between the cell membrane and various proteins, nanoparticles, and ... -
Study of the Effect of Ag-Addition and Double Substitution (Te/Gd and Se) on the Thermoelectric Properties of Cu12Sb4S13 Tetrahedrite
Non-renewable energy sources, such as natural gas, coal, and oil, supply over 80% of the world’s energy demands. The earth’s atmosphere is heavily polluted with CO2 generated from fossil fuels and natural gases, raising ... -
The Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes Framework for Multiphase Fluid Flows: Laminar, Turbulent, and Active
The Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes (CHNS) framework has found extensive applications, across diverse length and time scales, for multi-phase flows. In this thesis, we demonstrate that this framework offers a robust theoretical ... -
