Confinement, Coarsening And Nonequilibrium Fluctuations In Glassy And Yielding Systems
(2016-02-17)One of the most important and interesting unsolved problems of science is the nature of glassy dynamics and the glass transition. It is quite an old problem, and starting from the early20th century there have been many ... -
Dynamics of Glass-Forming Liquids and Shear-Induced Grain Growth in Dense Colloidal Suspensions
(2018-06-19)The work presented in this doctoral thesis employs colloidal suspensions to explore key open problems in condensed matter physics. Colloidal suspensions, along with gels, polymers, emulsions and liquid crystals belong to ... -
Numerical Studies Of Slow Dynamics And Glass Transition In Model Liquids
(2009-12-16)An increase in the co-operativity in the motion of particles and a growth of a suitably defined dynamical correlation length seem to be generic features exhibited by all liquids upon supercooling. These features have been ... -
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 ... -
Structural signatures of relaxation mechanisms in glass forming and devitrifying colloidal suspensions
Connecting macroscopic behavior of matter to the microscopic interactions is the central goal of condensed matter physics. Yet, achieving such a challenging goal in atomic and molecular systems would require tracking all ... -
Structure and Dynamics of Binary Mixtures of Soft Nanocolloids and Polymers
(2018-04-24)Binary mixtures of polymers and soft nanocolloids, also called as polymer nanocomposites are well known and studied for their enormous potentials on various technological fronts. In this thesis blends of polystyrene grafted ... -
Structure And Dynamics Of Polymers In Confinement
(2011-02-07)The thesis describes the study of structure and dynamics of polymers in confined geometry. We study the finite size effect on the dynamics of non glassy and glassy polymers. Systematic measurement have been performed to ...
