Our Research interests:
Low-dimensional systems in condensed matter:
- Electronic and magnetic structure of low-dimensional and nanoscale-ordered systems
- Quantum confinement effects in 2D, 1D, 0D
- Designing atomically engineered thin films/heterostructures/superstructures
- Transport in thin films and surface alloys
Spectroscopy and band mapping:
- Spin-orbit coupling, Rashba effect
- Electron-phonon interaction
- Band mapping, hybridization, Fermi surfaces
- Topological insulators and other Dirac materials
- Unconventional electronic phases in self-assembled superstructures on metals, semiconductors, Graphene, Silicene, Organic films, etc.
Strongly correlated systems:
- Magnetism, transport, metal insulator transition and charge ordering in Transition metal oxides, spinels, chalcogenides, titanates, etc.
- CMR Materials
- Multiferroic Materials
- Spin glass behavior
- Superconductitvity and intermatallic compounds
Application oriented research:
- New generation Solar cells
- Waste heat recovery via Thermoelectric materials
- Magnetocaloric effect and magnetic refrigeration
- Spintronic materials
