Led by Amlan Biswas · Physics
What we study
The Biswas Lab studies magnetism and superconductivity in complex oxides like manganites and cuprates. Researchers grow thin films and measure their properties at low temperatures and high magnetic fields to explore how electric fields control magnetism.

Current projects
Investigation of interfacial phenomena
The group studies unique physical properties emerging at interfaces between different materials.
Optimization of sample quality
They focus on improving substrate preparation and thin-film growth parameters to create ultra-clean samples.

Simulating the formation of electron tunnel junctions in manganite thin films
The lab builds a C++ program that simulates how magnetic regions move in a thin film when an electric field is applied and predicts the current‑voltage behavior of the resulting junction. The student will also measure current‑voltage curves of the material at different temperatures to compare with the simulation.

Ferromagnetic Domain Movement in Hole‑doped Manganites at Low Current Densities
The lab grows thin films of a mixed‑phase manganite, patterns them into 20 µm‑wide wires, and measures how electric and magnetic fields move ferromagnetic regions at low current, aiming for low‑power magnetic memory devices.
