Polarized Light Emitting Diodes (Spin LEDs) |
The project is focussed on developing and characterizing
III-V quantum well-based Spin polarized light emitting diodes (Spin LED)
that can emit circularly polarized light at room temperature. These LEDs
will be useful for a number of applications including efficient light-coupling
into fibers, optical isolation/selection based on polarization, and binocular
vision for three-dimensional stereoscopic imaging. In addition to above,
the display systems, based on Spin LED technology, will have much higher
spatial resolution over current normal LED based display systems.

Search for high temperature
Ferromagnetic Dielectrics
|
This project is
focused on the development of new types of Diluted Magnetic Dielectric
(DMD) materials that have potential applications in Spintronics. Very
recently we have succeeded in nventing a rare earth oxide-based diluted
magnetic dielectric (DMD) system which exhibits high temperature ferromagnetism.
Inspired by our preliminary success, we are extending this work to explore
the possibility of inducing ferromagnetism in other dielectric systems.

| Understanding the
Origin of ferromagnetism in ZnO- based DMS materials |
This project is
aimed to understand the fundamental mechanism responsible for ferromagnetism
in ZnO-based DMS materials. In order achieve this goal, extensive amount
of experimental and theoretical studies are being under taken in our group. |

In this research
project, we are investigating Transition Metal (TM) Oxide-based magnetic
multilayers to explore the potentiality of these materials for fabricating
ultra-sensitive magnetic sensing devices.

Transparent Conducting
Oxides and Devices based-on
|
This project is focused on developing
materials which are transparent and at the same time show good conductivity.
These transparent conducting oxides (TCO) are considered as one of the
most important materials system for modern optoelectronic devices such
as, light emitting diodes (LED), solar cells, flat panel displays etc.

Organic Solar Cells
and Other Alternate Sources of Energy
|
This project is
focussed on developing an efficient and cost effective processing technique
for producing large area Dye Sensitized Solar Cells. These solar cells
will be flexible, inexpensive and environment friendly. If successful,
this project will play a very important role in transferring the recent
scientific developments in the field of nanostructured DSSC technology to
large scale industrial production.
