    • 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
