Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials

Research here explores functional materials for electronics, photonics and data‑storage applications. Investigations into semiconductor heterostructures, photonic crystals and magneto‑resistive alloys deepen understanding of charge, photon and spin transport phenomena. Synthesis methods—from molecular beam epitaxy to sol‑gel processing—are evaluated for film uniformity and defect control. Characterisation techniques such as ellipsometry, SQUID magnetometry and ultrafast spectroscopy correlate material structure with functional performance. Studies on device integration, reliability testing and scalability underpin advances in sensors, optical modulators and magnetic memory technologies.
