At TIFR, research on the synthesis, characterization and properties of nanomaterials started as far back as 1980. During the last three decades, we have investigated the size dependence of the physical properties in superconductors, ferroelectrics, ferromagnets, semiconductors and metallic alloys. Our current interests include:

           We have a state-of-the-art electron microscopy lab (including an aberration-corrected TEM, Field emission SEM, Environmental SEM, etc.), X-Ray Diffraction, Raman spectroscopy at low temperatures and high pressures, transport measurement and thermal analysis.
