Research Overview

Interests are interdisciplinary in nature and deal with a variety of outstanding problems in science and technology. The efforts are centered on physics and engineering, involving ideas, techniques, and conundrums from other fields such as material science, ion beam physics, optics, magnetism, and chemistry. The motivations are the following: Synthesis and (structural, optical, transport or magnetic) characterization of nanostructures (such as quantum dots, nanotubes, nanowires, nanorods, nanocrystals etc.), thin films, and/or low-dimensional heterostructures, and composite materials Integration of the nanoscale materials including 2D materials for developing powerful electronic, photonic, optoelectronic and magnetic devices Processing of emerging materials, and to carry out interdisciplinary research in the broad areas of flexible electronics, nuclear reactors and renewable energy with special emphasis on photovoltaic materials and radiation detectors Defect engineering at surfaces and interfaces of thin films for exploring novel physical properties Materials under extreme environment including ion beam exposure Research Areas Surface and Nano Science Know more: Click here
