Spintronics of Functional Materials

Welcome to the website of Spintronics of Functional Materials group of Prof. Tamalika Banerjee!

Our research group focuses on studying emergent phenomena at quantum critical regions in condensed matter systems, exploiting strong correlation effects and topology. Our research directions have shown how tailored heterointerfaces involving semiconductors, ferromagnets, antiferromagnets, multiferroics, graphene, and topological materials can generate new spin-dependent functionality. We synthesize, fabricate and perform electrical and magnetotransport measurements on thin film devices and free standing membranes, primarily using strongly correlated oxide materials, using the facilities available at NanoLab Groningen.  Our group collaborates with research groups within the Zernike Institute as well as with researchers across the globe. Our goal is to unravel new emergent phenomena at heterointerfaces of such quantum materials and to use design principles as a tool to deliver new classes of devices for applications in reconfigurable spintronics, bioinspired computing and probabilistic computing.  More information can be found in the Research part of the website.
