In this thesis we have combined the idea of cluster expansion and path integration to develop the quantum version of cluster and virial expansion. We derive a diagrammatic series expansion for different thermodynamic quantities like free...
Geometrically frustrated systems have garnered much interest in recent times due to the emergence of novel magnetic states in these systems that contrast traditional cooperative magnetic phenomena. The spin ice pyrochlores Ho2Ti2O7 and...
Two heavy Fermion superconducting compounds, URu₂Si₂ and PuRhIn₅, were investigated by the techniques of chemical substitution and application of high magnetic fields. These materials are particularity interesting for their unique...
This dissertation presents work on fabrication and room-temperature characterization of mesoscopic Hall sensors from InAs/AlSb quantum well semiconductor heterostructures. It also demonstrates suitability of these devices for detection...
Single molecule magnets (SMMs) posses multi-level energy structures with properties that make them attractive candidates for implementation into quantum information technologies. However there are some major hurdles that need to be...
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics offers the most complete quantum description of the known universe to date, however is unable to address some still unanswered questions. Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a theory which proposes partner...
Halide perovskites have shown rapid development in opto-electrical applications, such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors owing to their superior optical and electrical properties. Particularly, halide perovskites...
