Dr Tanmoy Chakrabarty Publishes Research on Magnetic Properties - Dr Tanmoy Chakrabarty, Assistant Professor of Physics at SIAS, has published a research article titled *Magnetic and electronic structure studies on S= 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic alternating spin chain system KCuGa(PO4)2* in the *Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials*. This research explores the low-dimensional magnetic behavior of the novel phosphorus-based cuprate system KCuGa(PO4)2, reporting significant findings on magnetic susceptibility and field-induced magnetic behavior, which contribute to the understanding of quantum phase transitions in dimerized spin systems.

Talk on 'Railways and the Historical Contours of India' by Professor Arup K Chatterjee - Join us for an insightful talk on the historical significance of railways in India, presented by Professor Arup K Chatterjee. This lecture advances a Jungian framework for interpreting India’s railway iconography, proposing that clusters of some of the most iconic railway representations of our times function as collective‐unconscious symbols that prefigure social and historical trajectories. The talk will be moderated by Dr Aashique Ahmed Iqbal, Assistant Professor of History, SIAS, Krea University. The event will be held online on August 13, 2025, from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM.
