AMRL has started its journey in 2016 under the esteemed supervision of Prof. G. S. Taki, in Dept. of Electronics & Communication Engineering at Institute of Engineering & Management (IEM), Kolkata. Researchers are carrying out fundamental research on synthesis of various nano-materials for bio-sensing and photo-catalytic applications.
A 2.45 GHz Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PE-CVD) system has been indigenously designed and developed by the laboratory members at the inception of the AMRL facility.
An in-house designed Magnetron Sputtering setup has been fabricated to sputter deposit various metallic & non-metallic nano-films & structures. The laboratory also encourages undergraduate and postgraduate students to carry out their project works with a view to develop the instrumentation and controls needed for the aforementioned systems.

Dr. Taki was the team leader of the pioneer scientists and engineers, who developed the first indigenous multiply charged 6.4 GHz Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) Heavy Ion Source in our country for Heavy Ion injection into K-130 Room Temperature Cyclotron at VECC, Kolkata. A unique, low energy heavy ion implantation/irradiation facility was developed utilizing the Heavy Ion Source for offline Materials Science and Atomic Physics research. His prolonged experience in ECR Ion Source Technology inspired him to establish AMRL facility at IEM for nano-materials synthesis and modification utilizing the in-house developed facilities.
