  • Newsletter February 2019
    EDITORIAL As we sail into the 8th year of our young institute, this newsletter aims to provide a common platform to bring together all the events associated with TIFRH, scientific and otherwise. In this inaugural issue, we bring to you an array of articles along with some creative titbits. We start off the issue with the cover story tracing the marvellous journey of TIFR Hyderabad, right from its conception to the point we stand today, a full-fledged institute bustling with research activities. We feature an article by Prof. Hari Dass, which will make you ponder about the no- cloning theorem in quantum mechanics and its implications, and Shubhadeep Pal, who gives an insight into the importance of reducing carbon emissions. We also feature an exclusive interview with the NMR bigwig, Prof. Shimon Vega, who talks about his foray into NMR, the long-standing relationship with his student, Prof. P.K Madhu, and dealing with hiccups in science. TIFR has a long history of outreach programs and other activities encouraging science education at the roots. At TIFR Hyderabad, we intend to continue this paradigm and to this end, Debashree Sengupta talks more about the active initiatives being taken in this direction. Moreover, amidst a variety of interdisciplinary research at TIFRH, we have highlighted a few in the ‘InFocus’ section of this issue. Lastly, in the non-science end of this issue, we present to you some comic relief, a poem about life and friendship in a research institute, and a photo gallery sporting a few talented shutterbugs at TIFR Hyderabad.

    Limiting Value of the Kolkata Index for Social Inequality and a Possible Social Constant Asim Ghosh1, ∗ and Bikas K Chakrabarti2, 3, 4, † 1Raghunathpur College, Raghunathpur, Purulia 723133, India. 2Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata 700064, India. 3Economic Research Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata 700108, India. 4S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Kolkata 700106, India Based on some analytic structural properties of the Gini and Kolkata indices for social inequality, as obtained from a generic form of the Lorenz function, we make a conjecture that the limiting (effective saturation) value of the above-mentioned indices is about 0.865. This, together with some more new observations on the citation statistics of individual authors (including Nobel laureates), suggests that about 14% of people or papers or social conflicts tend to earn or attract or cause about 86% of wealth or citations or deaths respectively in very competitive situations in markets, universities or wars. This is a modified form of the (more than a) century old 80 − 20 law of Pareto in economy (not visible today because of various welfare and other strategies) and gives an universal value (0.86) of social (inequality) constant or number. I. INTRODUCTION Unlike the universal constants in physical sciences, like the Gravitational Constant of Newton’s Gravity law, Boltzmann Constant of thermodynamics or Planck’s Constant of Quantum Mechanics, there is no established universal constant yet in social sciences. There have of course been suggestion of several possible candidates. Stanley Milgram’s experiment [1] to determine the social ‘contact-distance’ between any two per- sons of the society, by trying to deliver letters from and to random people through personal chains of friends or acquaintances, suggested ‘Six Degrees of Separation’.

  • Investigation of Lateral Photovoltaic Effect in Lead Sulphide Colloidal Quantum Dots/Silicon Heterojunction by Light Beam Induced Current Technique
    FOREWORD As a periodic review of its activities, the Department of Physics has been organizing In-house Symposium on annual basis during recent years. This one-day symposium usually consists of oral presentations by faculty members, post-docs and students, and poster presentations by all those who would like to present their recent results. This year we have a total of 19 talks and 55 posters. I hope this package would be a reasonable representation of the ongoing research activities in the department. This event is also particularly useful to freshers (including senior undergraduates) to familiarize themselves with the current research activity in our Department in various branches of Physics. I would like to thank Arindam Ghosh, Prabal Maiti, Prateek Sharma and Vijay Shenoy of our department who have shouldered the responsibility to organize this In-house Symposium. I urge all of you to actively participate in this important scientific activity. I hope you will all have an enjoyable and fruitful day. Prof. V.
