This dissertation mainly focuses on the investigation of the magnetic phase diagram of quasi two di- mensional triangular lattice antiferromagnets (TLAFs) Ba₃MNb₂O9 (M = Co2+ (S = 1/2), Mn2+ (S = 5/2)), and their multiferroic properties....
This dissertation describes the propagation of near atmospheric nitrogen gas that rushes into a liquid helium cooled vacuum tube after the tube suddenly loses vacuum. The loss-of-vacuum scenario resembles accidental venting of...
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 Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory of superconductivity is one of the jewels of 20th century physics. In this theory, the superconducting state of a metal is understood in terms of the formation of electron pairs which condense...
The superfluid phase of helium-4, known as He~II, is predominantly used to cool low-temperature devices. It transfers heat by a unique thermally driven counterflow of its two constituents, a classical normal fluid and an inviscid...
Doubly-connected superconducting loops are a class of superconducting devices of longstandinginterest in fundamental physics and practical applications. They have been studied since early 1960s and have received intensive recent interest...
Strongly correlated materials manifest some of the most intriguing behaviors found in condensed matter physics. However, their understanding remains a challenge because they cannot be described using standard theoretical approaches, as...
The central focus of this thesis is a study of materials with competing magnetic interactions and understanding how these interactions affect the overall magnetic behavior of solids. Understanding the fundamental factors that can be used...
