Soft Matter Under Electric Field And Shear
(2010-06-09)‘Soft condensed matter’ is a newly-emerged sub-discipline of physics concerned with the study of systems that are mechanically soft such as colloids, emulsions, surfactants, polymers, liquid crystals, granular media and ... -
Spectroscopic and Diffraction Signatures of Quantum Spin Liquids, Skyrmion Lattices and Transition Metal Dichalcogenides at Low Temperatures and High Pressures
This thesis presents experimental as well as theoretical studies on several contemporary systems like quantum spin liquids (QSLs), skyrmion lattices, and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) under extreme conditions ... -
Structural signatures of relaxation mechanisms in glass forming and devitrifying colloidal suspensions
Connecting macroscopic behavior of matter to the microscopic interactions is the central goal of condensed matter physics. Yet, achieving such a challenging goal in atomic and molecular systems would require tracking all ... -
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 ... -
Ultrafast Photoexcited Carrier Dynamics in Low Dimensional Systems Probed by Time Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy
The key aspect of this thesis is to understand the photoinduced carrier dynamics in low dimensional systems by employing time resolved optical pump-terahertz probe (OPTP) spectroscopy. Ultrafast pulsed laser (Ti: Sapphire ... -
Ultrafast Response And Time Resolved Spectroscopy Of Carbon Nanotubes, Semiconductors And Rare-Earth Titanates Using Femtosecond Laser Pulses
(2013-10-21)In this thesis, experimental studies are reported of ultrafast dynamics and third order optical nonlinear coefficients of carbon nanotubes, and time resolved coherent phonon dynamics of semiconductors and rare earth ... -
Ultrafast Study of Layered 3D Topological Insulators, Graphene-Gold Hybrid Plasmonic Nanostructure and Ultrathin Gold Nanowires
In a typical time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy, ultrafast laser pulses (pulse width ~ 100 fs) are utilized to induce a perturbation in the material of study within a time much shorter than the characterisitic lifetime ...
