Particles and Fields in Partial-differential-equation Models for fluid and Superfluid Turbulence
We have shown that uniformly rotating vortex-containing gravitationally-bound solutions of the GPPE can be generated by starting the evolution from initial data obtained by integrating to convergence the (imaginary-time) ... -
Particles and Fields in Superfluid Turbulence : Numerical and Theoretical Studies
(2017-12-16)In this thesis we study a variety of problems in superfluid turbulence, princi-pally in two dimensions. A summary of the main results of our studies is given below; we indicate the Chapters in which we present these. In ... -

Phase Behaviour & Dynamics Of An Agitated Monolayer Of Granular Rods
(2010-10-05)In this thesis we have explored the no equilibrium phase behavior and dynamics of an agitated monolayer of macroscopic rod-like particles. The main objective of this thesis was to highlight the ways in which even the ... -
Phase Transitions And Magnetic Order In Multiferroic And Ferromagnetic Rare Earth Manganites
(2011-03-29)Recent findings of multiferroicity and magnetoelectric effects in rare earth manganites have fuelled research in this class of materials. These multiferroics can be structurally divided into two classes – orthorhombic and ... -
Phase Transitions And Relaxation Processes In Water And Glycerol-Water Binary Liquid Mixtures : Spin Probe ESR Sudies
(2010-11-18)A liquid Cooled below its normal freezing temperature is known as a supercooled liquid. On further cooling, supercooled liquids crystallize to thermodynamically stable, ordered structures. Alternatively, if the cooling ... -
Phases, Transitions, Patterns, And Excitations In Generalized Bose-Hubbard Models
(2016-09-12)This thesis covers most of my work in the field of ultracold atoms loaded in optical lattices. This thesis can be divided into five different parts. In Chapter 1, after a brief introduction to the field of optical lattices ... -
Phenomenological Theory Of Superconductivity And Low-Energy Electronic Spectra In The High-Tc Cuprates
(2013-09-11)Condensed matter physics is a rapidly evolving field of research enriched with the synthesis of new materials exhibiting a bewildering variety of phenomena and advances in experimental techniques. Over the years, discoveries ... -
Phonon Anomalies And Phase Transitions In Pyrochlore Titanates, Boron Nitride Nanotubes And Multiferroic BiFeO3 : Temperature- And Pressure-Dependent Raman Studies
(2013-09-13)This thesis presents experimental and related theoretical studies of pyrochlore titanate oxides, boron nitride nanotubes, and multiferroic bismuth ferrite. We have investigated these systems at high pressures and at low ... -
Phonon anomalies in pyrochlores and 2D materials under extreme conditions: Insights from Raman spectroscopic studies
In solids, electrons do not behave as separate particles but instead interact intensely to form quasiparticles, which couple with other quasiparticles such as phonon, plasmon, and exciton to generate emergent quantum ... -
Phoretic Motion of Colloids : Single Particle and Collective Behaviour
(2017-12-16)In this thesis we have studied systems that driven by mechanisms broadly known as phoresis. More specifically, in the second chapter we calculate the excess noise in electrophoresis of a colloid due to microion fluctuations. ... -
Photo And Thermal Induced Studies On Sb/As2S3 Multilayered And (As2S3)1-xSbx Thin Films
(2013-05-31)Chalcogenide glasses have attracted considerable attention due to their infrared transparency, low phonon energy, and high non linear optical properties. They have been explored as promising candidate for optical memories, ... -
Physics and application of charge transfer in van der Waals heterostructures
Since the discovery of graphene, the field of 2D materials has garnered massive interest from a materials science, basic physics and device application point of view. This results from the diverse range of electronic and ... -
Physics Of Conductivity Noise In Graphene
(2014-05-27)This thesis describes the conductivity fluctuations or noise measurements in graphenebased field effect transistors. The main motivation was to study the effect of disorder on the electronic transport in graphene. In ... -
