EXPERIENCE:
Scientist-C: (March 2011 – Continuing) Colloids and Material Chemistry
Department CSIR- IMMT, Bhubaneswar, India.
Scientist-C: (Feb 2008 – March 2011), Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF)
Division, CSIR- CECRI Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu India.

Research
Currently working in Energy and functional materials.
Multiferroics Materials.
Thermoelectric materials.
Proton conducting fuel cell (PCFC)
Metallic Thin film, Hard coating, etc.
Electron microscopy:
Resolved the existing controversies of space-group in SrCaTiO 3 ceramics, at different Ca
concentration level. Initially various space groups e.g. Pnma (Pbnm), I4/mcm, Imma, P2 1/m,
Cmcm were reported. On the basis of XRD, Electron microscopic and TEM simulation data above
listed space groups has been tested thoroughly and finally Pnma space group has been assigned
along with a new feasible space group P2 12 12 as a minor phase. Phase coexistence studies are
under progress.
Relaxor Ferroelectrics:
A new lead free ferroelectric relaxor ceramics has been found in Hf doped BaTIO 3 (i.e. BaTi 1-
xHf xO 3) ceramics. Crossover from normal to relaxor behaviour has been characterized and
shown as an efficient candidate for industrial usage. Established novel technique to characterize
relaxors.
Functional materials
Multiferroics: Synthesis of pure and doped BiFeO 3, composite materials e.g. BiFeO 3: LaFeO 3,
BiFeO 3:NiFe 2O 4 etc. for fundamental science and functional device applications.
Proton conductor: Development of BaCeO 3 and BaZrO 3 based Proton conductors material for
intermediate temperature operation.
Area of Interest: Current research activities are focused on thermoelectric materials,
Proton conducting fuel cell (PCFC), Metallic Thin film & Hard coating, etc.
