Realization of Type-II Dirac Semi-metal in NiTe2 using Structural, Electrical and Magnetic Investigation
Dirac semimetal (DSM) is a topological semi-metal with a fourfold degenerate linear band crossing in the bulk, in the presence of time-reversal symmetry and inversion symme- try, exhibiting nontrivial spin-momentum locking ... -
Microwave Spectroscopic and Computational Studies on Hydrogen-Bonded Complexes
Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions are key contributors to numerous biological phenomena and have significant implications in synthetic chemistry as well. In supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering, ... -
Regress-Later with Interpretable Neural Networks for Pricing, Static hedging and Exposure management of Financial Derivatives
In the past two decades, there has been a significant growth in the trading of financial derivatives, witnessed in both Centralised Exchange and Over-The-Counter (OTC) markets. One of the main reasons for this growth is ... -
From Multidimensional non-Markovian Rate Theory to Diffusion-Entropy Scaling and Investigations into the validity of Hydrodynamic Stokes Law
Multidimensional rate theory provides a theoretical framework for understanding chemical reactions that occur in systems with more than one reaction coordinate, such as isomerization reactions, protein folding, or electron ... -
Exploring Fairness and Causality in Online Decision-Making
Online decision-making under uncertainty is a fundamental aspect of numerous real-world problems across various domains, including online resource allocation, crowd-sourcing, and online advertising. Multi-Armed Bandits ... -
Development of Dual Converters with DC Circuit breaker for DC Distribution Systems
