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 ...

We have studied the mixing of multiple forced passive scalars in 3D homogeneous and isotropic turbulence. The trends of the structure functions for a single scalar, although not very well resolved, seem to be similar to ...

The primary goal of this thesis is to develop a light sheet based microscopy system that provides non-invasive images having high spatial and temporal resolution. The fluorescence microscopy has become an indispensable ...

Topological insulators (TIs) belong to a new class of materials characterized by linear surface states, which emerge in the bulk band gap due to non-trivial topology of the band structure. These surface states have various ...

The importance of artificial intelligence and data driven machine learning is growing exponentially in time as are its applications in investigations of complex phenomena in, e.g., climate-systems science, fluid flows, ...

There has been enormous interest in understanding the emergence of thermal behavior in systems isolated from the environment, be it classical or quantum. For classical systems, it has been argued that chaos plays a vital ...

Solid-state quantum emitters are efficient, scalable single-photon sources with tunable properties of quantum yields and dipole oscillator strengths. Such emitters are emerging sources for a myriad of near-field light-matter ...
