High Magnetic Field Neutron Stars : Cyclotron Lines and Polarization
(2018-04-16)This thesis concerns with the study of X-ray binaries which are gravitationally bound systems consisting of a compact object (either a neutron star or a black hole) and usually a non degenerate companion star, both rotating ... -
High Precision Optical Frequency Metrology
(2009-07-22)Precise measurements of both absolute frequencies and small frequency differences of atomic energy levels have played an important role in the development of physics. For example, high precision measurements of absolute ... -
High-Resolution Spectroscopy in Atoms Using Coherent Control
(2017-10-26)The subject of this thesis is the study of coherent interaction of light with matter (atoms) to improve the precision measurements and techniques. Special attention is drawn to get the narrow subnatural electromagnetically ... -
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 ... -
Hyperfine Structure-Measurement in Alkali-metal Atoms and Ytterbium Atom
(2018-02-15)Atomic precision measurements provide a strong testing ground for new theoretical ideas and fundamental laws of physics. Measurement of the Lamb shift in the hydrogen atom is one of the best examples towards this -it ... -
Hyperspectral and Spectropolarimetric Instrumentation for the Solar Atmosphere
The Sun is the closest star whose surface can be resolved to great a detail. Understanding the working of Sun helps in understanding a large fraction of stellar system as it falls under the spectral class G2V which is ... -
Imaging and Spectral Studies of Solar type I Noise Storms at Metric Wavelengths
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-02-01)Type I noise storms constitute a sizeable fraction of the active-Sun component of solar radiation at meter wavelengths. The storms occur over a prolonged duration as intense, narrow-band spikes, superposed on a low-intensity ... -
Impact of Disorder and Topology in Two Dimensional Systems at Low Carrier Densities
(2018-02-15)Two dimensional (2D) systems with low carrier density is an outstanding platform for studying a wide spectrum of physics. These include both classical and quantum effects, arising from disorder, Coulomb interactions and ... -
