Topological insulators (TI) are a new class of materials in which gapped bulk states coexist with gapless surface-states having linear energy-momentum dispersion relation protected by time-reversal symmetry. These ...

The primary goal of this thesis is to develop techniques to quantify the radiation dose distributions used in radiotherapy for cancer treatment. It aims at developing a physically profound calculation model for the transit ...

In this thesis, we have studied non-equilibrium phenomena in sheared soft matter systems and in granular active matter. The surfactant systems are driven out of thermal equilibrium by applying external forcing at the ...

The physics of confined systems of interacting particles has been a subject of active research for more than a century. Such systems are ubiquitous in nature - examples include petroleum in porous rocks, cytoplasm in ...

Mixed systems made from a combination of ferroelectric (FE) and antiferroelectric (AFE) compounds, exhibit various effects of disorder in different temperature regions. The kind of effects observed, depend on the technique ...

Coulomb drag technique is a notable tool for probing electron-electron interaction in double-layer systems, where the momentum and energy transfer from one layer to the other layer as a result of Coulomb interaction. In ...

Motivation of this thesis is to synthesize HgCdTe quantum dots responsive in MWIR spectral range using chemical synthesis method and develop room temperature operated MWIR focal plane array using commercial silicon ROIC ...

Almost 80% of the world’s energy needs depend on oil, coal and natural gases. Use of natural gases, fossil fuels emit a large amount of CO2 to the earth’s atmosphere, which causes the greenhouse effect and results in an ...

With the development of the science and technology, the quantum computers are becoming the possible key to reveal new breakthroughs. Unlike the classical computers, where we have classical bits (0or1), in quantum computation ...

About 70% of the heat generated for energy production is wasted and thermoelectric generators can capture this waste heat and convert it into useful electricity. The stability at high temperature in the ambient atmosphere ...
