Our research centers around the physics and applications of quantum materials, with a particular emphasis on the strongly correlated oxides. The research work spans from the synthesis of novel materials and heterostructures, especially utilizing a “materials-by-design” approach to discover material systems (thin films, heterostructures, superlattices, or interfaces) with properties superior to any known, to the studying of the physics of these new emerging properties, and to the development of functional devices exploiting the emergent properties.

Discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer lanthanide nickelates
[arXiv:2105.13492] The origin of high-Tc superconductivity remains an enigma even though tremendous research effort and progress have been made on cuprate and iron pnictide superconductors. Aiming to mimic the cuprate-like electronic configuration of transition metal,..Read MoreFebruary 4
Discovery of Whirl – Nature 590, 74 (2021)
In the quest for post-CMOS (complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor) technologies, driven by the need for improved efficiency and performance, topologically protected ferromagnetic ‘whirls’ such as skyrmions and their anti-particles have shown great promise as solitonic information carriers..Read MoreDecember 7
Topological Magnetic Textures by Design
Magnetic Skyrmions are smoothly varying local spin arrangement of size ranging from 10 to 100 nm. From theoretical simulations, these quasiparticles are known to have several attractive properties. On the other hand, there are multiple..Read MoreSeptember 1
Memristors
Lack of uniformity is possibly the biggest challenge in today’s technology of memristor devices as it gives rise to problems like inconsistency, stochastic variability, and instability of the memory state. A uniform switching mechanism in..Read MoreJuly 6
Entering the nickel age
Understanding the mechanism of high-temperature superconductors has been one of the holy-grails in scientific endeavors in the last three decades or so. Superconductors with transition temperatures of up to 165 K have been observed in..Read MoreMay 7
