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 ... -
Detection of charge-neutral modes to spin-wave excitations in graphene quantum Hall, and periodic magnetic field effect on Dirac electrons
In the quantum Hall (QH) regime, the electrical transport happens along the downstream chiral edge modes (dictated by the external magnetic field) while the bulk remains a vanilla insulator. However, it has been theoretically ... -
Investigation of twisted bilayer graphene using electrical and thermoelectric transport
The ability to tune the twist angle between di erent layers of two-dimensional materials has opened up a new dimension to band engineering in van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. By taking advantage of the formation of ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
