In the quantum Hall (QH) regime, the electrical transport happens along the downstream chiral edge modes (dictated by the external magnetic field) while the bulk remains a vanilla insulator. However, it has been theoretically ...

Motivation of this thesis is to synthesize HgCdTe quantum dots responsive in MWIR spectral range using chemical synthesis method and develop room temperature operated MWIR focal plane array using commercial silicon ROIC ...

Spin-polarized electron beam has not yet been produced from an unpolarized electron beam using Stern-Gerlach type spin filter, because of the Lorentz force and Heisenberg uncertainty principle. At present, electron spin ...

Residual dipolar couplings can be used to increase the number of qubits for quantum information processing. We have used molecules containing 3, 5 and 8 spins oriented in a liquid crystal matrix, and exploited the residual ...

Magnetism in a solid | dia, para, ferro, or of other forms | originates majorly from its electrons; one could, infact, ignore the nuclear contribution. There are two types of electrons in a solid: bound, and free (also ...

Active matter refers to systems driven out of thermal equilibrium by the uptake and dissipation of energy directly at the level of the individual constituents, which then undergo systematic movement in a direction decided ...

The physics of confined systems of interacting particles has been a subject of active research for more than a century. Such systems are ubiquitous in nature - examples include petroleum in porous rocks, cytoplasm in ...

The potential energy landscape (PEL) description is regarded as one of the fundamental landmarks in the theory of glass transition, which has found wide applications not only in the understanding of disordered materials ...

This thesis is devoted to the study of the dynamics of spiral and scroll waves in a mathematical model for cardiac tissue. We study the effects of the presence of heterogeneities on electrical-wave dynamics. The heterogeneities ...
