Research

Research methodology

• Discovery, Design and Single Crystal Growth of Quantum Materials having novel electronic and magnetic ground states. 

• Structural, magnetic, transport and thermodynamic measurements down to mK temperature under high magnetic field.

• Tuning the electronic and magnetic properties of materials via chemical doping, external pressure and uni-axial strain.

Current Interest:

• Van der Waals Magnets and their application

• Spintronics: 2D Spintronics (Van der Waals Materials), Heusler Spintronics 

• Magnetic Topological Materials: Exploration for Magnonics

• Charge Density Wave Materials

• Magnetically Frustrated Materials e.g. Spin liquid.  

• TMO Mott Insulators and rold of spin-orbit coupling e.g. Ruthenate, Rhenate, Osmate, Iridate.
