Iridates, Black Phosphorus, Weyl and Dirac Semimetals Under Extreme Conditions : Raman Study
This thesis presents Raman studies of Sodium iridates (Na2IrO3 and Na4Ir3O8), VO2, black phosphorus, Weyl (TaAs, TaP, NbP and NbAs) and Dirac (Cd3As2) semimetals under ex-treme conditions like low temperature (upto 4K), ... -
Linear and Nonlinear Ultrafast Time Resolved Spectroscopy of Topological Insulators, Weyl Semimetals and Semiconducting Nanowires
Ultrafast time resolved spectroscopy has recently gained immense significance due to its potential capability to explore the dynamics of photoexcited carriers in condensed matter systems. The technique has proved to be a ... -
Non-Equilibrium Phenomena in Sheared Soft Matter and Active Granular System
In this thesis, we have studied non-equilibrium phenomena in sheared soft matter systems and in granular active matter. The surfactant systems are driven out of thermal equilibrium by applying external forcing at the ... -
Novel spin, charge, and lattice dynamics in pyrochlore iridates : Raman and X-ray diffraction studies at low temperatures and high pressure
This thesis investigates phonon dynamics, electronic, and spin excitations along with structural instabilities and phase transitions in rare earth pyrochlore iridates, A2Ir2O7 (A = Pr, Gd, Dy, and Er) and Bi-doped Sm2Ir2O7 ... -
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 ... -
