Research Interests & Areas
Current research interest of Biswas group is on fabrication of nanometer scale materials for emerging technologies. We study the fundamental mechanism behind the nanomaterial formation and the nanomaterials properties using high resolution microscopy, optical & infrared spectroscopy, and diffraction.
In recent years we have explored-
a. Block copolymer nanostructures as a template for inorganic nanofabrication
c.Sequential Infiltration synthesis and Atomic Layer Deposition for inorganic Nanomaterial growth
d. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for understanding the nanomaterial growth mechanism
