Iridates, Black Phosphorus, Weyl and Dirac Semimetals Under Extreme Conditions : Raman Study
This thesis presents Raman studies of Sodium iridates (Na2IrO3 and Na4Ir3O8), VO2, black phosphorus, Weyl (TaAs, TaP, NbP and NbAs) and Dirac (Cd3As2) semimetals under ex-treme conditions like low temperature (upto 4K), ...
Fermi Bubbles and Galactic Outflows in Circumgalactic Medium
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 ...
Study of Photo-generated Charge Transport in Graphene-based Hybrid Structures
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 ...
Glassy Dynamics in Active Matter
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 ...
Probing the Nature of Dark Matter in the Universe
The dark matter is the most dominating matter candidate and a key driving force for the structure
formation in the universe. Despite decade-long searches, the precise nature and particle
properties of dark matter are ...
Flocks, Flow and Fluctuations in Inanimate Matter : Simulations and Theory
In this thesis we study a novel soft-matter system that imitates motility. Our system consists of a few asymmetrically tapered brass rods and aluminium beads which are confined between two vertically shaking plates. The ...
Deterministic Two Stage Clonal Expansion Model of Breast Cancer Epidemiology and its Utility for Optimal Screening Policies in India
Breast cancer (BC) has emerged as public health issue in India in last two decades sur-passing cervix cancer. Mortality from breast cancer is 30-40% higher than maternal causes. Breast cancer 5 year survival rates are ...
An experimental study on thermoelectric transport at van der Waals interfaces
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 ...
Magnetic and Dielectric Properties of Half Doped RMnO3 (R = Y, Tb)
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 ...
Effects of Strong Electron-Electron Correlations on Band Insulators in Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium
In this thesis, several aspects of correlation effects in band insulators that were hitherto not addressed, both in equilibrium and non-equilibrium, are studied using the Ionic Hubbard model (IHM) at half-filling and ...
