Multiferroics, Ferroelectrics and Piezoelectrics
Here, we are studying the devices and materials based on oxides, such as ferroelectric and/or multiferroic oxides, piezoelectric materials as well as polymers such as P(VDF-TrFE) from the perspective of energy harvesting, piezoelectric activity, data storage applications, to name a few, Our work is related to engineering the material's structure and properties to achieve the desired functionality in stand-alone as well as device form and requires one to delve into understanding of materials, physics and some electrical engineering, particularly for device work.
