The Physics of Advanced Materials and Devices group synthesises and analyses advanced materials spanning micro to nanostructures. We focus on understanding optical, electrical, and magnetic properties to drive innovation for novel prototype devices. Our goal is to develop customised solutions across electronics, optoelectronics, photonics, energy, and biomedical fields. The work is organised according to the following topics:

1. Semiconductor Nanoparticles (TL1, TL3): Synthesis and doping for enhanced electronic and optical properties. Investigation of properties individually & in assemblies. Focus on deliberately doping wide band gap oxides and exploring low-dimensional nitride structures.
2. Organic and Hybrid Semiconductor-based LEDs (TL1, TL2): Exploration of organic and low-dimensional organic/inorganic hybrid perovskites. Broadening research scope in semiconductor-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
3. Photovoltaic Technologies (TL2, TL3): Research on thin film solar cells & hybrid silicon-nanoparticle/polymer solar cells. Development of enhanced materials and architectures for improved efficiency.
4. Ferroelectric Oxides, Multiferroics and Magnetic materials (TL1, TL3): Investigation for photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications. Exploration of materials with colossal dielectric constants, perovskites, and spinel ferrites for energy storage.
5. Bioactive Glasses and Nanoceramics (TL3, TL4): Production employing various methods. Multifunctional properties such as antibacterial, antitumoral, osseointegration, etc. Application focus in orthopaedic and orthodontic implants, biocements, and cancer treatment.
6. Micro-Structured sensors (TL4): Tailored design for X-ray biomedical imaging. Serving roles in dosimetry, tomography, and as radiation detectors in high-energy settings.
7. Functional Nanocarbon Structures (TL1, TL3): Fabrication and refinement for various applications (energy, biomedical, electronic). Includes diamond, graphite, graphene, or their hybrids.
