Graphene and its two dimensional (2D) analogues have sustained the interests of the researchers for quite some time because of the rich physics they offer including many quantum phenomena and non-trivial topological ...

The thesis investigates the optical, photo-physical, and electrical properties of CdTe and HgCdTe nano- and micro-structures synthesized by hydrothermal/solvothermal technique. Application oriented studies like fluorescence ...

Synopsis According to the hierarchical structure formation model, massive structures like galaxy clusters are formed due to the gravitational collapse of initial density perturbations and their subsequent mergers. ...

Galactic outflows play an important role in the formation and evolution of galaxies by regulating the star formation rate (SFR) within them and by throwing out metals into the intergalactic medium (IGM). They are key to ...

The discovery of graphene and analogous van der Waals materials offers a platform for the discovery and exploration of various novel physical phenomena. Here we study the effects of local interaction and strong localisation ...

The thesis, in general aims at studying the early history of the Milky way through the chemical abundances of metal poor stars in the Halo and in the satellite galaxies of the Milky way. Halo of a galaxy is one of the early ...

Hybrid structures involving atomic/molecular membranes from two or more layered materials are emerging as a platform for novel class of field effect transistors (FETs), p - n junctions, photo-detectors, photo-voltaic ...

For the last few decades, the physics of doped perovskite manganite’s (RMnO3) has been an area of intense research due to their interesting physical and electronic properties. Various exciting phenomena such as, colossal ...

The thesis endeavours to theoretically understand electronic properties of nite trapezoidal shaped graphene sheets, and understand zero energy edge states. The motivation for this thesis is recent experimental work at Low ...

There has been much interest in the glassy dynamics of living systems at the scales of subcellular structures, cells and tissues. This has motivated theoretical studies on the approach to glassy behaviour in dense systems ...
