Research Project Grants (Jan – April 2021)
KIIT School of Applied Sciences
1. Title of the Project: Exploring the Novel Quantum States at the Interface of Spin-Orbit Coupled Active and Inactive Double Perovskites.
Principal Investigator: Dr. Priyadarshini Parida (Department of Physics)
Name of Grant: UGC Start-up Research Grant
Abstract: The rich behaviors of transition metal oxides are due to the complex interactions between their charges, orbital and spin degrees of freedom. At the interface, the charge and spin states are changed affecting electronic and magnetic properties due to local symmetry breaking, charge transfer, electrostatic coupling and magneto-electric coupling. Interface studies of various single perovskites and single-double perovskites show interesting properties provide a platform to study the interface properties between the double perovskites which is in shadow till date but important because of their more complex structure and diverging properties due to association of two different transition metal atoms.
