Dr. Haranath Ghosh joined RRCAT, Department of Atomic Energy  on 03/09/2002.  He had completed several guest scientist positions at the Universidade Federal Fluminense, University of Arizona, Max Planck Institute of complex systems, Duisburg University etc., was visiting Assistant Prof. at the IIT, Kanpur before joining RRCAT.  Dr. Ghosh, a theoretical condensed matter physicist, collaborated with many experimentalists, is also an Associate Prof., HBNI. His research includes Superconductivity, Magnetism, Correlated electron systems, -conjugated polymers, Electronic structure studies, Core electron spectroscopy etc. Dr. Ghosh has around 112 research articles (that includes 4 Physical Review Letters, 20 single authored in reputed journals) to his credit.  His contributions are theoretical as well as experiment-theory in nature involving electronic structure studies,  interpretation of various experimental observations related to multi-ferroic systems, core-electron spectroscopic studies (specially, XANES) and Fe-based superconducting materials. He has worked on a number of multi-ferroic/ferroelectric materials like Co4Nb2O9, Co3TeO6, Co3-xMnxTeO6, BaFeO3-δ, BaTiO3 etc. which helped one experimental material science HBNI Phd to complete degree. His numerous experiment-theory collaborative research works were useful in supporting Indus-I,-II activities at RRCAT. Dr. Ghosh had been working on core-electron spectroscopic studies on Fe-based superconductors and other materials at ambient as well as high pressures, Bethe Salpeter equation; a HBNI Phd student likely to complete thesis this year. He worked on XANES near Ta L edges in LiTaO3 through thermal wave, fluorescence and first principles related to experimental research work of Indus-I. His work emphasizing influence of core-hole effect on the optical properties of magnesium oxide (MgO) near Mg L-edge region supported Indus-I activity which helped partially completing Phd of another HBNI student.  He also worked on numerous Fe-based superconducting materials using many body model as well as DFT leading to completion of Phd works of two HBNI students; one received the Phd degree another submitted thesis, awaiting degree. All the students so far received prestigious post-doctoral fellowships abroad. Notably, two of his research works involving neutron spin resonance and electronic structure studies are published in PRL.
