Main area of work:
Our research mainly focuses on studies of the mechanisms of charge transport, spin transport and heat transport at the nano-scale down to single atom. These understanding may lead to various applications ranging from ultralow noise electronics, sensors to device miniaturization. The specific goals are given below:
Charge/Spin transport in emerging new low dimensional materials like graphene, MOS2, WSe2, Black Phosphorous, Carbon Nanotube and nanowires.
Hybrid electronic devices using molecules and various 2d and 1d materials
Understanding charge/spin/heat transport in single molecule using mechanical break junction
Noise- measurements to understand various physical phenomena
Magnetotransport at low temperature (down to ~ mK)
Bio-electronics: understanding charge transport of biomolecules like protein, DNA etc
