Numerical Studies of Spiral- and Scroll-wave Dynamics in Cardiac Tissue: (1) Spiral- and Scroll-Wave Turbulence; (2) Spiral- and Scroll-Wave dynamics in Anatomically and Physiologically realistic Mathematical Models for Canine and Human Ventricular Tissue
A summary of the main results of our studies is given below. In most of our work, we use three mathematical models for cardiac myocytes, namely, the Panfilov model, the Aliev-Panfilov model, and the Hund-Rudy-Dynamic ... -
Numerical Study Of The Complex Dynamics Of Sheared Nematogenic Fluids
(2013-07-17)In this thesis, we have tried to explain the regular and irregular(chaotic) dynamics of worm like micellar solutions on applying shear, through a detailed study of the equation of motion of a nematic order parameter tensor ... -
Observational Aspects Of Core Collapse Supernovae
(2013-10-17)The discovery of several bright supernovae (SNe) in recent years has evoked a great deal of interest in these objects. The study of these objects are of importance not only as probes to the end stages of stellar evolution, ... -
On the electrical transport of weak topological insulators and Weyl semimetals
Topological insulators have garnered enormous amount of attention owing to their unique topological properties. The surface states protected by the topology of the system hold limitless potentials including topological ... -
On The Magnetic And Magnetotransport Studies Of Cobaltates And Superconductor/ Ferromagnet Heterostructures
(2011-06-30)The study of the co-existence of singlet superconductivity and ferromagnetism in bulk materials has been a long standing and intriguing problem in condensed matter physics since the superconductivity and ferromagnetism are ... -
On the Nature Of Propagating MHD Waves In The Solar Atmosphere
(2014-10-15)One of the most persistent problem in solar physics is the identification of the mechanism that heats the solar corona and accelerates the fast solar wind. Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD)waves play a crucial role in heating of ... -
One Dimensional Transport And Prospects Of Structural Transitions In Ultrathin Metallic Wires
(2013-02-25)This thesis reports transport in ultrathin single crystalline nanowires of gold (∼ 2nm). These nanowires were fabricated using an oriented attachment process whereby nanoparticles of appropriate dimensions join in a linear ... -
Optical And Structural Investigations Of Defects In CdZnTe(Zn ~ 4%) Crystals
(2013-06-12)The CdTe family members (in particular CdZnTe) remain the substrate of choice for epitaxial growth of HgCdTe for use in high performance infrared (IR) detectors and focal plane arrays. This is the case despite advances in ... -
Optical Diffraction Tomography for the Refractive Index Profiling of Objects with Large Space-Bandwidth product
(2018-05-25)The primary goal of this work is to arrive at direction tomography (DT) algorithms freed from the severe linearization in the formulation, and as-assumptions on variation of the refractive index distribution (RID), involved ... -
Optical Tweezers and Its use in Studying Red Blood Cells - Healthy and Infected
(2017-11-29)The experiment discussed in the next chapter was to confirm the aforementioned bystander effect. In the first experiment we separated hosting and non-hosting mRBCs by the percol purification method and then measured the corner ... -
Optical Tweezers To Probe And Manipulate Soft, Nano And Bio Systems
(2013-01-31)Statistical physics in soft matter systems, physical properties of bio-inspired systems and the mechanical manipulations of nano-systems have been studied using optical tweezers to form the basis of this doctoral Thesis. ... -
Optical, AC Conductivity, NMR and Raman Studies of Alkali Borogermanate Glasses
(2017-11-22)Physical properties of materials and their constituents are interrelated. Though the basic structural unit involved also plays a role in deciding the properties, this can be manipulated to a certain extent, by carefully ... -

(2017-05-21)Genetic algorithms (GA) are stochastic global search methods based on the mechanics of natural biological evolution, proposed by John Holland in 1975. Here in this thesis, we have exploited possible utilities of Genetic ... -
Optoelectronic Properties of Graphene Based Van-der-Waals Hybrids
Light matter interactions in atomically thin van der Waals materials have attracted significant attention in recent day [1–6]. Although the thickness does not exceed few nano-meters, such an atomically thin materials alone ... -
Orbital Evolution And Super-Orbital Flux Variations In X-ray Binary Pulsars
(2010-08-23)X-ray binaries are binary stellar systems containing a compact object and a normal companion star which are gravitationally bound and rotate about a common center of mass. The compact object accretes matter from the companion ... -
Origin of Instability and Plausible Turbulence in Astrophysical Accretion Disks and Rayleigh-stable Flows
