Materials Science & Nanotechnology

Materials that contains varied novel, magnetic, electronic and optical properties have applications, as well as computers, lighting and sensors and sustainable properties. Research in electronic, optical, and magnetic materials must include processing techniques for obtaining materials with controlled compositions, structures, characterization and applications of these materials. There is a lot interest in the synthesis, processing and characterization of magnetic, optical and electronic materials. This program includes:

• Semiconductor process modelling
• Development of solid-state gas sensors
• Superconducting oxide/metal laminates for energy storage and transmission
• Nano-structured ceramics for applications in electrochemical devices such as sensors and fuel cells
