Collective Behaviour of Confined Equilibrium And Non Equilibrium Soft Matter Systems
(2017-11-09)Due to their diversity, soft matter systems provide a convenient platform to study a variety of physical phenomena like phase transitions and collective motion. Encompassing a wide range of equilibrium and non-equilibrium ... -
Driven Granular and Soft-matter : Fluctuation Relations, Flocking and Oscillatory Sedimentation
(2018-06-11)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 ... -
Flow Induced Instabilities, Shear-Thickening And Fluctuation Relations In Sheared Soft Matter
(2016-09-09)In day to day life we encounter many different materials which are intermediate between crystalline solids and simple liquids that include paints , glues , suspensions, polymers, surfactants, food and cosmetic products and ... -
Shear Induced Transitions In Mixed Surfactant Systems And Anisotropic Colloids
(2017-06-12)This thesis deals with the non-equilibrium phenomena under shear observed mainly in bilayer forming liquid crystalline phases of mixed surfactant systems, anisotropic colloidal dispersions as well as Langmuir monolayers ... -
Soft Matter Under Electric Field And Shear
(2010-06-09)‘Soft condensed matter’ is a newly-emerged sub-discipline of physics concerned with the study of systems that are mechanically soft such as colloids, emulsions, surfactants, polymers, liquid crystals, granular media and ... -
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 ...
