Dynamics and Transport Properties in Polymer Nanocomposites: Role of Interfacial Entropic and Enthalpic Effects
Polymers embedded with nanoparticles polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) have emerged as a new class of hybrid materials, which combine the unique electronic, mechanical, magnetic, catalytic, and optical properties of nanoparticles ... -
Hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic instabilities leading to turbulence in astrophysical accretion disks and their connection to laboratory shear flows
Accretion disks are astrophysical objects formed around a denser object, mainly in the form of a disk. In an accretion disk, matter spirals in and falls onto the central object. To match the observations, the underlying ... -
Experimental Investigation of Electrons In and Above Liquid Helium
Electrons on the surface of liquid helium form a nearly ideal 2-dimensional electron system (2DES). An electron density up to 2 × 10^9 cm-2, known as the critical electron density, can be achieved on the liquid helium ... -
Raman Studies of Topological Crystalline Insulator, Natural Heterostructures, Excitonic Insulator and Layered Oxide Under Pressure
The theme of this thesis is Raman spectroscopic study of a variety of exotic states of matter under extreme conditions, such as, hydrostatic pressure as high as 25 GPa and a wide temperature range from 77 K to 390 K. Raman ... -
Enhancing the spin-orbit torque efficiency in Pt/CoFeB/Pt based perpendicularly magnetized systems
Controlling and switching magnetization by the process of current-induced torque has a considerable advantage in lower power consumption for a memory device and spin logic device application. For a heavy metal (HM) / ... -
A cavity electromechanical device for superconducting vortex charge sensing
The penetration of magnetic fields in the form of quantized vortices in type-II superconductors is well known. However, it is not well known that such vortices can be electrically charged. The effect is quite subtle and ... -
Electrical transport and optical studies of spin-orbit coupled topological phases in different correlation regimes
The interplay of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and electron-electron correlation in different regimes gave birth to many novel topological phases with exotic properties ranging from quantum transport to superconductivity. One ... -
Spectroscopic and Diffraction Signatures of Quantum Spin Liquids, Skyrmion Lattices and Transition Metal Dichalcogenides at Low Temperatures and High Pressures
This thesis presents experimental as well as theoretical studies on several contemporary systems like quantum spin liquids (QSLs), skyrmion lattices, and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) under extreme conditions ... -
Electrical transport study of Graphene/WSe2 Heterostructure
Spintronics has emerged as a novel platform to build information storage and logic devices in the last few decades. Graphene promises a long spin propagation length even at room temperature due to its low spin-orbit ... -
A Platform for Handheld Ultrafast PCR
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is one of the most sensitive and specific diagnostic tools available today. Yet, it stands out of reach for many vulnerable populations because commercial solutions are expensive, bulky, ... -
Study of light-matter interactions in ultra-low noise graphene-based van der Waals hybrid
The vast array of optical and electrical capabilities of graphene (Gr) and analogous two dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials have piqued scientists’ interest for long. Stacking these materials to form hybrid ... -
Investigation of DC and AC Charge Transport in Semiconducting Polymers and Devices
Semiconducting polymer materials have several applications in electronics and optoelectronic devices. The charge transport in these complex systems is yet to be fully understood to optimize the performance of the devices. ... -
Unraveling certain high energy astrophysical features based on advective accretion disks
The presence of an accretion disk around a neutron star (NS) or a black hole (BH) is mainly responsible for the observed X-rays from the night sky. NS or BH is a part of the binary systems, and matter flows from a companion ... -
