About
I am a PhD candidate in the field of experimental Condensed Matter Physics at Indian
Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata, India.
My research is focused on the investigation of quantum materials, its magnetic and
magneto-transport properties. My PhD thesis dissertation is titled “Electronic and
Magnetic Properties of Intermetallic Heusler-related Compositions.”. My research interests lie in topics like Transition-metal-based Spintronics materials, quantum magnetism and so on. Functional magnetic and electronic phenomena in rare- earth and transition metal-based alloys and compounds by use of various tools such as magnetization, electrical transport (such as resistivity, magnetoresistance, Hall effect, thermopower).
In my PhD tenure I have performed experiments and also analysed data to understand various phenomena in quantum materials (particularly in intermetallic alloys and compounds). I have experience in materials synthesis, particularly polycrystalline samples using arc melting technique and solid-state synthesis. I also have tried some single crystals using Bridgman method and chemical vapour transport. After successful preparation of samples, I have studied the structural, thermal, magnetic, and transport properties using Quantum Design and
Cryogenic instruments. I have a background in low temperature transport and magnetic measurements as well as analyzing of synchrotron and neutron scattering data.
I have published 8 SCI/Peer-reviewed research articles/review article and
2 research manuscripts have been submitted for publication. I also have 4
international/national conference presentations.
