Negative Capacitance:

  1. We recently predicted negative capacitance in ferroelectric materials that may have a number of applications for low power logic and memory applications. We are currently working on realizing this negative capacitance in a controlled manner.

Nanomagnetic Logic:

  1. We are examining the possibility of making logic circuits out of small scale magnets. In that regard, we are working on a number of new ideas of magnetic switching, spin injection and communication of spin information over a long distance.

Our research is focused on the physics of non equilibrium phenomena in nano structured systems and its application to engineering. We work to understand these phenomena rigorously and, through their innovative tailoring, design devices that show new functionalities that are not achievable with conventional concepts and may take us beyond some of the fundamental limits of the conventional devices. This brings an interdisciplinary nature to our research spanning over studies of fundamental physics to material science and electrical engineering.

Some Specific Topics:

Spin angular momentum transfer:

  1. We are exploring the physics of current induced spin angular momentum transfer for both logic and memory applications.
