Realization of magnetic Weyl semimetallic phase in pyrochlore iridates thin films
Weyl semimetals (WSMs) are characterized by two linear non-degenerate band crossing inside the bulk of the Brillouin zone. The spin-degeneracy of the bands can be lifted by either broken inversion symmetry or broken ... -
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 ... -

Sculpting colloidal membranes through phase transformations
Shaping macroscopic 2-D thin elastic sheets through differential strains in the system is a widely studied phenomenon applicable in diverse areas such as flexible electronics, origami and tissue growth. In contrast, at the ... -
Search for Northern Hemisphere Rapidly Oscillating Ap stars
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-20)Rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) stars are cool, magnetic, chemically peculiar A-F type stars which exhibit high frequency oscillations similar to that of the famous five minute oscillations of Sun. These oscillations are ... -
Separated Local Field NMR Spectroscopy In Partially Ordered Systems - New Methodologies And Applications
(2010-09-06)Dipolar couplings are one of the major source of structural information. Due to their dependence on the distance between the nuclei and the angle of orientation of the dipolar vector with respect to the magnetic field, ... -
