simple and complex oxide and non-oxide ceramic systems, crystal
structure, properties, structure-property relationship, defect
chemistry, synthesis and characterization.
- Organic and organometallic materials: Synthesis and properties of
mono/multimetallic system, supramolecular and dendrimeric materials,
polymers, electrical conduction, superconductivity and magnetism;
charge transfer salts; fullerides; thin films (Langmuir Blodgett films
and self assembled monolayers); application as catalysts, nonlinear
optical materials; organic LEDs; light harvesting and light emitting
materials; spintronics.
- Conducting polymers: Band structure; mechanism of conduction;
synthesis and characterization of polyacetylene, polythiophene,
polyaniline, metallophthalocyanines and their chemical and
electrochemical properties; applications in molecule-based devices.
