Functional Materials Laboratory

IIT KHARAGPUR


Welcome to Debraj Choudhury's Group

We, at "Functional Materials Laboratory", aim at development of new multi-functional materials based on strongly correlated materials. We perform this through synthesis of compounds and investigations of their electronic and physical properties, using various experimental probes and also using first-principles calculations. The activities of our research group are primarily focused around the following thematic areas:

-Probing Orbital Physics (Orbital Ordering and Orbital Dilution Effects) in Strongly Correlated Transition Metal Oxides

-Development of high-temperature Multiferroic Materials

-Development of novel Magnetocaloric Materials

-Probing magnetic and dielectric properties of Frustrated Magnetic Systems

-Magnetotransport as a probe for probing emergent Interface Magnetism in thin-film superlattices
