Engineering topological surface states through structural control, electrostatic gating and superconducting proximity effects
Three dimensional topological insulators are materials characterized by a gapped insulating bulk and gapless metallic states on the sample surface. This unique be- havior arises out of the non-trivial topology of the ... -
Hyperspectral and Spectropolarimetric Instrumentation for the Solar Atmosphere
The Sun is the closest star whose surface can be resolved to great a detail. Understanding the working of Sun helps in understanding a large fraction of stellar system as it falls under the spectral class G2V which is ... -
Studies in Strongly Correlated Systems: From Ultracold Superfluids to Strange Metals
Almost all the technology that we use today depends on our ability to control and exploit the properties of many electron phases. These phases are primarily made up of non-interacting fermions embodied in a metal or a ... -
Proton kinetic energy anomaly, Kauzmann temperature for nanoconfined water and design of nanoscale membrane for water desalination.
Structure, dynamics and thermodynamics of water molecules con fined inside the nanopores of various geometries are of fundamental interest owing to their potential applications in various nanofluidic devices, such as ... -
Surface Adsorption of Dendrimers: Structure, Interactions at Graphene/Water Interface and Applications in Supercapacitors
The study of structure and dynamics of geometrically con ned polymers has been an interesting topic of research. In this thesis we speci cally studied the adsorption behavior of a hyper-branched polymer called poly(amidoamine) ... -
Implications in substrate recognition, catalysis and drug-design Structural basis for neutralization of ribosome-inactivating proteins by their monoclonal antibodies
Cryptic elements of proteins are not visible in unbound structures but become apparent in ligand/substrate-bound structures. These binary states of cryptic elements in protein structures can impact important aspects of ... -
