NOn-ambient and theoretical studies

The main aim of any device-based research is to realise a device which has good performance but at the same time, we need to look at the device performance worldwide. The main reason behind that is that there are few parameters which can vary depending on the environment in which we are using the device. Few such parameters are the temperature, magnetic field, external vibration, etc. In this research line, we do such studies which are mostly non-trivial. Along with experimental understanding, theoretical understanding is also necessary to search for the actual scientific reasoning behind each phenomenon. So, by mathematical simulation and LAMMPS modelling, we try to replicate the experimental data by approximate mathematical formulas.
