Investigation of interface magnetism in LSMO/LNO heterostructures
The exchange bias effect (EBE) initially observed at ferromagnetic (FM)/antiferromagnetic (AFM) interfaces in correlated rare earth oxides has been a topic of intense research... -
Phonon confinement effects in Si-nanowires
Nanowires can be used for devices based on thermoelectrics and to convert the heat into electrical current. The material design challenge here is to create the materials where... -
Alkylated Graphene nano-lubricant at the metal-oil interface
The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. 2-D graphene materials can provide... -
Magnetic Coupling and Chiral Structures in Rare Earth Metal Molecular Systems
We have observed that the addition of C60 molecules on the surface of rare earth (RE) metal thin films alters magnetic transitions into collinear and non-collinear states. The... -
Magnetic proximity effect and in-plane correlations in amorphous CoAlZr/FeZr ...
The purpose of this project work is to establish a broader understanding of the magnetic proximity effect observed in a magnetic amorphous multilayer. This will be achieved by... -
Study of the phonon confinement in novel thermoelectric materials
The material design challenge in thermoelectric materials is to find the materials where the conduction of heat is low and the electrical conductivity is high. It was recently...
