Probing the Nature of Dark Matter in the Universe
The dark matter is the most dominating matter candidate and a key driving force for the structure formation in the universe. Despite decade-long searches, the precise nature and particle properties of dark matter are ... -
Structural Studies on Thymidylate Kinase : Evolution, Specificity and Catalysis
(2018-05-30)Thymidylate kinase (TMK) is a key enzyme for DNA synthesis. It occurs at the junction of the de novo and salvage pathways for the synthesis of deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP). Its inhibition affects cell viability, ... -
Structural, Optical and Electrical Studies on Multi-Functional Organic Single Crystals
(2018-07-09)In this thesis, the physical properties of certain multi-functional organic crystals were studied in detail. This study involves the growth of single crystals of Glucuronic acidγ-lactone (GAL), Imidazoliumtartarate (IMLT), ... -
Studies of Diamagnetism and Thermoelectric Transport in High Temperature Superconductors and Graphene
Using a recently proposed Ginzburg-Landau-like free energy functional due to Banerjee et al. Phys. Rev. B 83, 024510 (2011) we calculate the fluctuation diamagnetism of high-T c superconductors as a function of doping, ... -
Studies of Ultracold Bosons in Optical Lattices using Strong-Coupling Expansions
(2018-06-14)Cold bosonic atoms trapped in optical lattices formed by standing wave interference patterns of multiple laser beams constitute excellent emulators of models of strongly correlated quantum systems of bosons. In this thesis, ... -
Study of Photo-generated Charge Transport in Graphene-based Hybrid Structures
Hybrid structures involving atomic/molecular membranes from two or more layered materials are emerging as a platform for novel class of field effect transistors (FETs), p - n junctions, photo-detectors, photo-voltaic ... -
Study of Stellar Relics from the Early Galaxy
The thesis, in general aims at studying the early history of the Milky way through the chemical abundances of metal poor stars in the Halo and in the satellite galaxies of the Milky way. Halo of a galaxy is one of the early ... -
Topological Insulators and Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Under Extreme Conditions : Optical Studies
This thesis presents experimental as well as theoretical studies of three dimensional topological in-sulators (TIs) and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Raman spectroscopic measurements of these systems have been ... -
Topology and Quantum Phases of Low Dimensional Fermionic Systems
(2018-05-21)In this thesis, we study quantum phase transitions and topological phases in low dimensional fermionic systems. In the first part, we study quantum phase transitions and the nature of currents in one-dimensional systems, ... -
Turbulent Mixing of Multiple-Passive-Scalars
We have studied the mixing of multiple forced passive scalars in 3D homogeneous and isotropic turbulence. The trends of the structure functions for a single scalar, although not very well resolved, seem to be similar to ... -
Understanding DNA-Based Nanostructures using Molecular Simulation
(2018-05-14)Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is arguably the most studied and most important biological molecule. Recently, it has also been established as a potential candidate for nanoconstruction. Self-assembly of DNA molecules has ... -
Understanding the Behavior of the Sun's Large Scale Magnetic Field and Its Relation with the Meridional Flow
(2018-07-05)Our Sun is a variable star. The magnetic fields in the Sun play an important role for the existence of a wide variety of phenomena on the Sun. Among those, sunspots are the slowly evolving features of the Sun but solar ...
