KC Research Group

CMRL focuses on the electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of various materials including quantum materials for novel device applications. CMRL aims to understand the structure-property relationships in materials in order to design, discover, and deploy them for technological applications. Some of the research areas are listed below.

• Two-dimensional (2D) materials and their heterostructures

• Solid electrolytes for solid-state battery applications

• Ferroelectric and magnetic materials (Multiferroics)

• Mechanical Properties of Solids 

• Quantum materials and materials for quantum information science (QIS) 

• Phase change materials such as shape memory alloys (SMA) and others.

• Quantum chemistry and computational catalysis, molecular systems.
