Electronic Structure of Solids

Research activities of our group comprise of two distinct areas of condensed matter science, namely strongly correlated electron systems, and nanocrystals in the quantum confinement regime. Combining an array of state-of-the-art experimental as well as theoretical techniques, the main emphasis of the group is in understanding electronic, magnetic and dielectric properties of various classes of transition metal compounds. In the field of semiconductor nanoparticles, our focus is primarily in investigating and tuning electronic, optical and magnetic properties along with elucidating internal structures of complex nanoparticles using novel techniques.
