In this thesis, an experimental study of low-temperature stereodynamics in the reactive scattering of Ne(3P2) + X collisions (X = Ar, Kr, Xe, CO and N2) is presented. The steric effect of Ne(3P2) in these reactions is observed experimentally using a contro ...
Short bursts (similar to 1 ms) of gas, injecting similar to 10(17)-10(18) molecules of hydrogen and/or deuterium, lead to the observation of cold pulse propagation phenomenon in hydrogen plasmas of the ADITYA-U tokamak. After every injection, a sharp incre ...
Skyrmions and antiskyrmions are topologically protected spin structures with opposite vorticities. Particularly in coexisting phases, these two types of magnetic quasi-particles may show fascinating physics and potential for spintronic devices. While skyrm ...
Over the last decade, a variational principle based on a generalisation of Taylor's relaxation, referred to as multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamics (MRxMHDs) has been developed. The numerical solutions of the MRxMHD equilibria have been constructed us ...
The strong Ising spin-orbit coupling in certain two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides can profoundly affect the superconducting state in few-layer samples. For example, in NbSe2, this effect combines with the reduced dimensionality to stabilize ...
Method for the preparation of a sample comprising highly polarized nuclear spins, comprising at least the following steps: a) bringing a polarization system, which using an electrochemical reaction can be converted into an EPR-active radical form thereof, ...
The properties of Kitaev materials are attracting ever increasing attention owing to their exotic properties. In realistic two-dimensional materials, the Kitaev interaction is often accompanied by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, which poses a challe ...
In next step tokamaks such as ITER and future fusion power plants, wall materials will be subjected to considerably higher heat and particle fluxes than in present-day machines. Maintaining plasma facing components in good condition and simultaneously assu ...
Although the frustrated (zigzag) spin chain is the Drosophila of frustrated magnetism, our understanding of a pair of coupled zigzag chains (frustrated spin ladder) in a magnetic field is still lacking. We address this problem through nuclear magnetic reso ...
In the presence of magnetic fields, gravitational waves are converted into photons and vice versa. We demonstrate that this conversion leads to a distortion of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which can serve as a detector for MHz to GHz gravitationa ...
