Nanotechnology and Renewable Energy Group 

Our research interests span traditional topics in condensed matter physics such as correlated magnetic phases and coupled quantum systems, as well as with emerging multi-disciplinary themes such as hybrid solar cells and plasmonics-based opto-electronic devices. We focus on the physics of novel materials and develop techniques and protocols to manipulate their properties for applications in energy storage and information processing devices.
