Research Synopsis 

  1. Application and development of various scanning probe microscopy imaging modalities for nanoscale functional characterization of materials. 
  2. Near-field scanning microwave microscopy. We apply and develop near-field scanning microwave microscopy to study local electrical properties of a broad class of material: dielectrics, semiconductors, two-dimensional conductors, including in-situ imaging in fluids.
  3. Physics of nanoscale phase transitions and heat transport
  4. Materials for information storage
  5. Materials for energy storage and conversion 
  6. In-situ Scanning Probe Microscopy of Complex Oxides. In-situ UHV scanning probe microscopy techniques are used to study surfaces of complex oxide thin films grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition / Laser MBE.
