The continuous downscaling has enforced the device size and oxide thickness to few nanometers. After serving for several decades as an excellent gate oxide layer in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices, ...

In this thesis, we have explored the commonalities and connections between different classes of quantum systems that do not thermalize. Specifically, we have (1) shown that localized systems possess conservation laws like ...

The physics of doped transition metal perovskite has been an area of intense research in the last few decades due to their interesting magnetic and transport properties. Various exciting phenomena such as, colossal magneto ...

After the prediction of magnetoelectric effect in Cr2O3, in early 1960's, D. Asrov became the first to experimentally verify this phenomenon. After the pioneering work on magnetoelectric materials in 1960's and 1970's, the ...

The study of continuum sky background spectrum at low radio frequencies has achieved specific importance in present day observational cosmology . At these low frequencies the sky continuum is contributed by the extragalactic ...

In the present thesis, magnetization reversal in both out-of-plane and in-plane magnetized thin lms and in devices fabricated out of those lms are explored. Pt/Co/Pt stacks with ultrathin Co layer were in-estimated initially ...

Discrete and Continuous spatial encoding methods are described with details of understanding principles and practical implications. Step by step experimental op- timization procedure of these methods to achieve slice ...

The experimental discovery of graphene in 2004 has opened up a new research field in the direction of atomically thin two-dimensional layered materials for exploration of many fundamental research problems and technological ...

Two dimensional (2D) systems with low carrier density is an outstanding platform for studying a wide spectrum of physics. These include both classical and quantum effects, arising from disorder, Coulomb interactions and ...

Strong light matter interactions in metallic nanoparticles (NPs), especially those made of noble metals such as Gold and Silver is at the heart of much ongoing research in nanoplasmonics. Individual NPs can support collective ...
