The work presented in my doctoral thesis is an experimental investigation of the nature of order to disorder transition of vortex lattice in a Type-II superconductor namely Co-intercalated 2H-NbSe2 using scanning tunnelling spectroscopy and…

Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have a remarkable excitonic landscape with deeply bound bright and dark exciton states. Their properties are strongly affected by lattice distortions that can be created in a controlled…

In contrast to conventional s-wave superconductivity, unconventional (e.g. p or d-wave) superconductivity is strongly suppressed even by relatively weak disorder. Upon approaching the superconductor-metal transition, the order parameter…

Turing (or double-diffusive) instabilities describe pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems, and were proposed in 1952 as a potential mechanism behind pattern formation in nature, such as leopard spots and zebra stripes. Because the…

We examined the characteristics of a metal-insulator transition on a two-dimensional non-bipartite lattice when both disorders and electron interactions are present. Using a real-space renormalization group method and finite-size scaling…

The phase diagrams and the nature of the phase transitions in multicomponent gauge theories with an Abelian gauge field are important topics with various physical applications. While an early renormalization-group-based study indicated that…

Recent experiments on 2H-TaSe$_2$ contradict the long-held view of the charge density wave arising from a nested band structure. An intrinsically strong coupling view, involving a charge density wave state arising as a Bose condensation of…

Many systems, including biological tissues and foams, are made of highly packed units having high deformability but low compressibility. At two dimensions, these systems offer natural tesselations of plane with fixed density, in which…

It is well established that for non-interacting electrons, increasing disorder drives a metal into a gapless localized Anderson insulator. While in three dimensions a threshold in disorder must be crossed for the transition, in two…

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising candidates for a wide variety of ultrascaled electronic, quantum computation, and optoelectronic applications. The exponential decay of electronic density of states into the bandgap,…

One of the most distinctive hallmarks of many-body systems far from equilibrium is the spontaneous emergence of order under conditions where disorder would be plausibly expected. Here, we report on the self-transition between ordered and…

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a branch of two-dimensional materials which in addition to having an easy-to-exfoliate layered structure, also host semiconducting, metallic, superconducting, and topological properties in various…

We experimentally investigate the nature of 2D phase transitions in a quasi-2D granular fluid. Using a surface decorated with periodically spaced dimples we observe interfacial tension between coexisting liquid and crystal phases.…

Disorder induced melting, where the increase in positional entropy created by random pinning sites drives the order-disorder transition in a periodic solid, provides an alternate route to the more conventional thermal melting. Here, using…

In this work, we present an atomistic first-principles framework for modeling the low-temperature electronic and transport properties of disordered two-dimensional (2D) materials with randomly distributed point defects (impurities). The…

Defect modes are investigated in a band gap of an electrically tunable one-dimensional photonic crystal infiltrated with a twisted-nematic liquid crystal (1D PC/TN). Their frequency shift and interference under applied voltage are studied…

We report a detailed numerical investigation of a recently introduced two dimensional model for square-to-rectangle martensitic transformation that explains several unusual features of the martensitic transformation. This model includes…

A recently introduced lattice model, describing an extended system which exhibits a reentrant (symmetry-breaking, second-order) noise-induced nonequilibrium phase transition, is studied under the assumption that the multiplicative noise…

This paper addresses martensitic precursor phenomena from new theoretical and experimental perspectives. Driven by a phonon domain hypothesis, based on the premise of incomplete phonon softening, and employing Born's dynamical approach to…

We investigate the ultrafast dynamics of photo-induced non-thermal lattice disorder in a polycrystalline aluminium thin film to elucidate transient short- and long-range lattice distortions, their thermalization and electron-phonon coupling…
