CAREER OBJECTIVE:

To join a dynamic organization which makes use of my interpersonal skills and to provide such an

environment where I can develop my concepts in a friendly environment and open new ways in

field of experimental and theoretical physics in a simple and understandable way.

RESEARCH INTEREST:

Nanotechnology is the study of functional systems at the molecular and nano scale. The properties

of bulk material show transient behavior by reducing their size to nano scale. Materials at nano

scale show unique optical, physical, thermal and magnetic properties. The change in the properties

is due to increase in the surface area and decrease in volume of the particles that leads to large

surface to volume ratio and hence appearance of dominant quantum size effect. The mentioned

properties of the nanoparticles make them interesting candidate for many wide range applications.

BS project description:

Electronic properties of IIB-VIA compounds

The electronic properties were studied using Generalized Gradient approximation (GGA) and by

using modified Becke Johnson (mBJ) technique. In electronic properties, band structures and

density of states of the compounds were calculated. The results obtained from GGA were not quite

satisfactory and the improved results were obtained by mBJ, which were in agreement with

experimental result.

MS project description:

Magnetic and Magnetothermal Studies of Gadolinium Based Compounds for Hyperthermia

Applications

Pellets of Gd5Si4 alloy were prepared using arc melting and were ground in powder form in a

mortar and pestle in the presence of an organic surfactant. Two series of nanoparticles were

produced by ball milling the powder at two different speeds (200 rpm and 500 rpm) for times

ranging from 10 to 100 mins. Structural characterization of the bulk and nanoparticulate form of

the sample was done using X-ray diffraction. The morphology of the milled samples was studied

using transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Magnetic

measurements were carried out using a vibrating sample magnetometer. The effect of milling time

and milling speed on the magnetothermal properties was studied using a radio frequency (RF)

induction unit and precision induction heating unit at different values of fields and frequencies.

The specific absorption rates were calculated from the heating curves. The SAR was found to

decrease with milling time but attained a maximum at about 200 kHz for all samples. The values of

the SAR obtained make these materials suitable for magnetic hyperthermia applications.
