Research

Soft Matter and Surface Physics: To understand the growth, structure and properties of low dimensional systems and their correlation. Emphasis in understanding the interfacial dynamics and its role in the formation of low dimensional structures and also in understanding the local structure and properties, mainly using complementary techniques- Grazing Incidence X-ray Scattering (GIXS), Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), X-ray and Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS and UPS), Optical absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Source measure unit (SMU) and Probe station. Major Facilities: Versatile X-ray diffractometer (VXRD) [Publications from this facility] Variable temperature ultra high vacuum scanning probe microscope (VT-UHV-SPM) X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS and UPS) setup Ambient scanning probe microscope UV-Vis spectrophotometer Probe station Source measure unit (SMU) DLS setup Spin-coater Langmuir-Blodgett trough Vacuum deposition unit attached with XPS-UPS system
