Despite the central role that Equilibrium thermodynamics has played in our understanding of many body systems, the underlying theoretical construct is strictly correct only in the ‘Thermodynamic Limit’. On the other hand, ...

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 ...

Thermoelectric phenomena like the Seebeck and Peltier effects are known for more than two centuries with a wide range of applications. In 2008 Uchida et al. first demonstrated the phenomena called Spin Seebeck Effect (SSE) ...

The successful exfoliation of graphene in 2004 ushered in the era of 2D van der Waals materials, paving the way for a wide variety of applications in the field of electronics, optoelectronics, sensors, catalysis, flexible ...

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 ...

Condensed matter physics is a fascinating subject where collective properties of many particle systems show exotic emergent phenomena, practically unpredictable from the behavior of individual constituents. Many basic ...

The key aspect of this thesis is to understand the photoinduced carrier dynamics in low dimensional systems by employing time resolved optical pump-terahertz probe (OPTP) spectroscopy. Ultrafast pulsed laser (Ti: Sapphire ...

In recent days, the need for device miniaturization has led to immense research activities in the field of material science. It has become essential to discover and design new materials or to modify the existing materials ...

When two planar atomic or molecular layers are brought to sub-nanometer proximity, they form a van der Waals interface because the van der Waals force forms the dominant attractive force between them. The van der Waals ...
