MAGNETISM AND SUPERCONDUCTIVITY LABORATORY The research activities of the superconductivity and magnetism group are focused on the magnetic and transport properties of a variety of magnetic materials and high Tc superconductors. Our current interests include the dc and ac magnetization and magneto-resistance in the Colossal Magneto resistance compounds, and loss mechanisms in the dynamic response of both Ferro magnets and superconductors. We are also studying the magnetic properties of nano-particle systems to identify the effects of surfaces on the magnetic response. RESEARCH FACILITIES: DC and AC magnetometer facilities including Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), Lock-In-Amplifiers and Signal Analyzer. X-ray Diffractometer for both single crystal and powder pattern studies. 2T Electromagnet compatible with VSM; Cryostats, vacuum systems etc. Sample Preparation Facilities. FUTURE INTERESTS Development of Thin Film coating facility for preparation of Magnetic and Hard materials with industrial applications. (Proposal Submitted to M.O.S.T.)
