Studies Of Diffuse Ultraviolet Radiation
(2013-10-07)Ever since the first observations of diffuse ultraviolet radiation by Hayakawa et al. (1969) and Lillie & Witt (1976), there has been an effort to understand its distribution and its origin. Unfortunately, because of the ... -
Origin Of The Extragalactic Gamma-Ray Background
(2013-10-01)It is evident that the origin of EGRB is not well established. In this thesis I examine the unresolved discrete origin of EGRB. The contribution from normal galaxies, starburst galaxies and AGNs to the EGRB is examined. ... -
Phonon Anomalies And Phase Transitions In Pyrochlore Titanates, Boron Nitride Nanotubes And Multiferroic BiFeO3 : Temperature- And Pressure-Dependent Raman Studies
(2013-09-13)This thesis presents experimental and related theoretical studies of pyrochlore titanate oxides, boron nitride nanotubes, and multiferroic bismuth ferrite. We have investigated these systems at high pressures and at low ... -
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 ... -

Probing Magnetic And Structural Properties Of Metallic Nanowires Using Resistivity Noise
(2013-07-19)The main focus of this thesis work has been the study of domain wall (DW) dynamics in disordered cylindrical nanomagnets. The study attempts to accurately quantify the stochasticity associated with driven (temperature/magnetic ... -
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 ... -
Numerical Study Of The Complex Dynamics Of Sheared Nematogenic Fluids
(2013-07-17)In this thesis, we have tried to explain the regular and irregular(chaotic) dynamics of worm like micellar solutions on applying shear, through a detailed study of the equation of motion of a nematic order parameter tensor ... -
Role Of Surface And Inter-particle Spacing On Optical Properties Of Single And Hybrid Nanoparticle Assemblies
(2013-07-03)Optical properties of nanoscopic materials have been intensively perused over last couple of decades due to their tunable optical properties. Recent interests in this field have been mainly focused on the preparation of ... -
Stability of Accretion Flows And Radiative-Hydrodynamics Around Rotating Black Holes
(2013-06-24)In the case of cold accretion disk, coupling between charge neutral gas and magnetic field is too weak such that the magneto-rotational instability will be less effective or even stop working. In such a situation it is of ... -
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 ... -
Investigating Systematics In The Cosmological Data And Possible Departures From Cosmological Principle
(2013-06-11)This thesis contributes to the field of dark energy and observational cosmology. We have investigated possible direction dependent systematic signal and non-Gaussian features in the supernovae (SNe) Type Ia data. To detect ... -
Nonequilibrium Fluctuations In Sedimenting And Self-Propelled Systems
(2013-06-10)Equilibrium statistical mechanics has a remarkable property: the steady state probability distribution can be calculated by a procedure independent of the detailed dynamics of the system under consideration. The partition ... -
Magnetic And Transport Studies On Nanosystems Of Doped Rare Earth Manganites And VPP PEDOT
(2013-06-10)The study of novel properties of materials in nanometer length scales has been an extensive area of research in the recent past. The field of nanosciece and nanotechnology deals with such studies and has gained tremendous ... -
Photo And Thermal Induced Studies On Sb/As2S3 Multilayered And (As2S3)1-xSbx Thin Films
(2013-05-31)Chalcogenide glasses have attracted considerable attention due to their infrared transparency, low phonon energy, and high non linear optical properties. They have been explored as promising candidate for optical memories, ... -
Conformation And Charge Transpsort In Conducting Polymers, Carbon Nanotubes And Their Nanocomposites
