The discovery of graphene in 2004, a single layer of carbon atoms, has led to extraction several other van der Waal’s materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides, boron nitride, bismuth-based chalcogenides and so on, each exhibiting a plethora of fundamentally important properties and applications. We employ a variety of techniques to investigate how single to few atomic layer thick van der Waal’s materials and their hybrids respond to various externally controlled stimuli such as temperature, light, magnetic field, strain, heat. We also work on quantum transport in low dimensional systems like delta-doped silicon and nanowires to explore various fascinating properties in these systems.
