Exploring carrier dynamics in van-der-Waals heterostructures with shot noise spectroscopy, thermoelectricity and opto-electronic study
In the last two decades, there has been tremendous progress in two-dimensional (2D) - material research. It is mainly
due to the availability of a large selection of 2D-materials and their van-der-Waals heterostructures. ...
Non-Equilibrium Phenomena in Sheared Soft Matter and Active Granular System
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 ...
3D Dosimetry using optical tomography and electronic portal images
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 ...
Study on optical and electrical transport properties of twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides
Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, where dissimilar atomically thin vdW crystals are vertically assembled, have initiated a new paradigm to create flexible multifunctional devices. Despite the weak nature of vdW ...
Quantized heat flow probing thermal equilibration and edge structures of quantum Hall phases in graphene
In condensed matter physics, usually, phases are described using Landau’s approach, which characterizes the phases in terms of underlying symmetries that are spontaneously broken. Over the past few decades, a different ...
Mechanical Properties of Nucleic Acids in Bulk and Under Confinement and Their Interaction with Peptide
Proteins, DNA and RNA are arguably the most studied biological molecules with curiously interconnected relation that appears ubiquitous in all organisms. Almost all nucleoprotein interactions and DNA manipulation events ...
Effect of As and Se substitution on the Phase Change properties of GeTe based alloys
Phase-change memory (PCM) is a key enabling technology for non-volatile electrical data storage at the nanometer scale. A PCM device consists of a small active volume of phase-change material between two electrodes. In ...
Excursions in ill condensed quantum matter from amorphous topological insulators to fractional spins
Condensed matter physics is a fascinating subject where collective properties of many particle systems show exotic emergent phenomena, practically unpredictable from the behavior of individual constituents. Many basic ...
First principles study of the structural, electronic, elastic, mechanical, thermal, and vibrational properties in pyrochlores and temperature-dependent phonon properties in pyrochlores and SrTiO3 perovskite
In this thesis, first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to study the structural, electronic, elastic, mechanical, and thermal properties in a series of pyrochlore materials. The vibrational ...
Electrical transport and noise in polycrystalline 2D van der Waals materials and their grain boundaries
The successful exfoliation of graphene in 2004 ushered in the era of 2D van der Waals materials, paving the way for a wide variety of applications in the field of electronics, optoelectronics, sensors, catalysis, flexible ...
