    Scientist

    During this period I have been working with different vacuum thin film deposition systems. My R& D is on the following topics/ fields.

    (i)  Electrochromic Devices.
    (ii)  ITO based transparent conductors.

    (iii)   Poole-Frenkel effect in Ta 2 O 5 (iv)  Thallium based High T C Super conductors.

    (v)   Hall effect
    (vi)   3 rd harmonic detection in high Tc superconductors

    (vii)   SnO2 based HC detection.
    (viii)   Blood glucose sensor

    (ix)   LB films and conducting polymers for applications to biosensors, actuators and microelectronic devices.

    (x)   Nanocrystalline TiO 2 films and nano-particles by sol-gel process for different applications.

    Current Activity :

    Fabricationg TiO2 nano-particles and Nanocrystalline films doped with different metal cations by sol-gel route. Photocatalytic properties of these films are being studied for their application to environmental purification and self cleaning coatings on architectural glass. Non linear I(V) characteristics of TiO2 and other oxides (PCMO, SrTiO3 etc ) are being explored from resistive memory point of view. The TiO2 nano-particles, developes above, are being explored for their application to injection solar cell
