Electron Spin Resonance And Optical Studies On The Conducting Polymer Polyaniline
(2011-07-11)
For every phenomenon found in inorganic materials, organic counterparts have been found in the last 50 years. The discovery of metallic conductivity in the inorganic conjugated polymer (SN)x was a forerunner to the discovery ...
Elasticity And Structural Phase Transitions Of Nanoscale Objects
(2015-12-14)
Elastic properties of carbon nanotubes (CNT), boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT), double stranded DNA (dsDNA), paranemic-juxtapose crossover (PX-JX) DNA and dendrimer bound DNA are discussed in this thesis. Structural phase ...
Mesophases Of Active Matter : Translational Order, Critical Rheology And Electrostatics
(2016-04-26)
This thesis consists of research work in the broad area of soft condensed matter theory with a focus on active matter. The study of long wavelength, low frequency collective behavior of active particles (bacterial suspensions, ...
Numerical Studies Of Slow Dynamics And Glass Transition In Model Liquids
(2009-12-16)
An increase in the co-operativity in the motion of particles and a growth of a suitably defined dynamical correlation length seem to be generic features exhibited by all liquids upon supercooling. These features have been ...
Phase Behaviour & Dynamics Of An Agitated Monolayer Of Granular Rods
(2010-10-05)
In this thesis we have explored the no equilibrium phase behavior and dynamics of an agitated monolayer of macroscopic rod-like particles. The main objective of this thesis was to highlight the ways in which even the ...
Dynamics of Glass-Forming Liquids and Shear-Induced Grain Growth in Dense Colloidal Suspensions
(2018-06-19)
The work presented in this doctoral thesis employs colloidal suspensions to explore key open problems in condensed matter physics. Colloidal suspensions, along with gels, polymers, emulsions and liquid crystals belong to ...
Phenomenological Theory Of Superconductivity And Low-Energy Electronic Spectra In The High-Tc Cuprates
(2013-09-11)
Condensed matter physics is a rapidly evolving field of research enriched with the synthesis of new materials exhibiting a bewildering variety of phenomena and advances in experimental techniques. Over the years, discoveries ...
Some Unconventional Phases And Phase Transitions In Condensed Matter : Spin-Nematics, Spin-Liquids, Deconfined Critical Points And Graphene NIS Junctions
(2013-07-19)
Condensed matter physics provides us with an opportunity to explore a large variety of systems with diverse properties. Central to the understanding of these systems is a characterization of the nature of their ground ...
Optical And Structural Investigations Of Defects In CdZnTe(Zn ~ 4%) Crystals
(2013-06-12)
The CdTe family members (in particular CdZnTe) remain the substrate of choice for epitaxial growth of HgCdTe for use in high performance infrared (IR) detectors and focal plane arrays. This is the case despite advances in ...
Magnetic and Magnetotransport Studies in Transition Metal Oxides : Role of Competing Interactions
(2018-04-12)
There was a fame time for silicon in condensed matter physics, then the graphene era came and now topological insulators are gaining lot of attention, but magnetism in condensed matter physics has remained always fascinating ...
