Electronic structure of two-dimensional materials: Effect of point defects and moiré patterns
In the last two decades, research on two-dimensional (2D) materials has gained momentum due to their capability to host a wide range of novel phases of matter. These materials have also found applications in electronic, ... -
Electronic transport in low dimensional LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerface
The large variety of phenomena exhibited by the interface between two band-insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 has attracted intense research activity in recent years.The interplay of different symmetries, viz. point group ... -
Emergent Phenomena from Contacts and Disorder in High Mobility Graphene
The discovery of graphene and analogous van der Waals materials offers a platform for the discovery and exploration of various novel physical phenomena. Here we study the effects of local interaction and strong localisation ... -
Engineering Plasmonic Interactions in Three Dimensional Nanostructured Systems
(2018-02-08)Strong light matter interactions in metallic nanoparticles (NPs), especially those made of noble metals such as Gold and Silver is at the heart of much ongoing research in nanoplasmonics. Individual NPs can support collective ... -
Engineering topological surface states through structural control, electrostatic gating and superconducting proximity effects
Three dimensional topological insulators are materials characterized by a gapped insulating bulk and gapless metallic states on the sample surface. This unique be- havior arises out of the non-trivial topology of the ... -
Enhancing the spin-orbit torque efficiency in Pt/CoFeB/Pt based perpendicularly magnetized systems
Controlling and switching magnetization by the process of current-induced torque has a considerable advantage in lower power consumption for a memory device and spin logic device application. For a heavy metal (HM) / ... -
Establishing Super- and Sub-Chandrasekar Limiting Mass White Dwarfs to Explain Peculiar Type La Supernovae
(2018-06-23)A white dwarf is most likely the end stage of a low mass star like our Sun, which results when the parent star consumes all the hydrogen in its core, thus bringing fusion to a halt. It is a dense and compact object, where ... -
Evolution of the Magnetic Ground States with Lattice Distortion and Chemical Inhomogeneity in Doped Perovskite Oxides
(2018-04-18)The physics of doped transition metal perovskite has been an area of intense research in the last few decades due to their interesting magnetic and transport properties. Various exciting phenomena such as, colossal magneto ... -
Exchange Spring Behaviour in Magnetic Oxides
(2018-02-23)When a permanent magnet is considered for an application, the quantity that quantifies the usability of that material is the magnetic energy product (BH)max. In today’s world, rare earth transition metal permanent magnets ... -
Excursions in ill condensed quantum matter from amorphous topological insulators to fractional spins
Condensed matter physics is a fascinating subject where collective properties of many particle systems show exotic emergent phenomena, practically unpredictable from the behavior of individual constituents. Many basic ... -
Experimental and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of Viscosity of Polymer Nanocomposites
(2018-08-29)One of the important dynamic parameter characterizing the properties of polymer nanocomposite is viscosity. It is a quantity of interest on macroscopic scale also. A thorough study of viscosity in case of polymer nanocomposite ... -

Experimental Investigation of Electrons In and Above Liquid Helium
Electrons on the surface of liquid helium form a nearly ideal 2-dimensional electron system (2DES). An electron density up to 2 × 10^9 cm-2, known as the critical electron density, can be achieved on the liquid helium ... -
Experimental Investigation of Multielectron Bubbles in Liquid Helium
(2017-11-28)Multielectron bubbles (MEBs) are micron sized cavities in liquid helium that contain electrons confined within a nanometer thick layer on the inner surface of a bubble. These objects present a rich platform to study the ... -
Experimental Studies in Quantum Optics using Diode Lasers
This thesis discusses experimental studies with vapor cells containing rubidium (Rb) or cesium (Cs) atoms. Transitions in the atoms (D1 and D2 lines) are accessed using diode lasers. Experiments are performed at room ... -
Experimental Studies Of Electron Spin Dynamics In Semiconductors Using A Novel Radio Frequency Detection Technique
