Research Interests
I am interested in investigating the structural, optical ,electrical and thermal properties of chalcogenide and nano materials. I can use X-ray and neutron diffraction methods to know the atomic scale structure of the crystalline and amorphous materials. Thin films of some materials can be prepared using thermal evaporation and sputtering techniques at our department from which electrical and optical properties of these materials would be obtained. These investigations are very important in order to make these materials of great industrial interest. I am also interested in using the science of mechanical alloying to prepare some intermetallic compounds, amorphous and nano materials as an alternative technique to the ordinary one.
