Our current research interests are in the synthesis, characterizations, and understanding structure-property relationships of various interesting functional and multifunctional materials (such as dielectric, ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, multiferroic, magnetoelectric, thermoelectric). Applications of these materials in a variety of devices require good understanding of the material and fine tuning of their physical properties required for particular application. Generally, processing conditions, strain, composition, dopants, structure, microstructure, etc. can greatly influence the physical properties of these materials. Artificially engineered multilayered, nanocomposites, and heterostructured films of such materials are of great interest due to their novel properties, which cannot be achieved in homogeneous single phase material. |
