Research Activities

Our motto "There's more to be seen than can ever be seen - More to do than can ever be done" (from circle of life, Elton John)

We are working on the following themes currently:​

​​

  • Interface Controlled Quantum Materials

  • Interfacial superconductivity in oxide heterostructure

  • Oxide electronics

  • Spin-orbit coupling and electron correlation driven novel quantum phases of matter 

  • High entropy oxides

​

  • High Entropy Oxides

High entropy oxides (HEOs) are a class of materials containing equimolar portions of five or more transition metal and/or rare-earth elements and have a single-phase crystal structure. Transition metal-based HEOs are being explored in recent years to achieve tunable properties in unexplored parts of the complex phase diagram. However, the thin-film growth of such multi-component systems in a layer-by-layer way is extremely challenging. We have been able to grow single crystalline thin films of one such system [(La0.2Pr0.2Nd0.2Sm0.2Eu0.2)NiO3]. We are exploring structure-property relationship of this new class of materials.
