Research Statement

Silicon (Si) microfabrication techniques have been highly successful in reducing the size of MOSFET. This trend has resulted in ultra-small gate lengths for MOSFETs. According to Moore’s law, the number of transistors on a chip is expected to double every year. It has been predicted that Si MOSFET will continue to scale down to device dimensions of 10 nm.

Spintronics is one of the very exciting alternative technologies. The spin of electron is a quantum mechanical property. Coupling between electron charge and spin in transition metals results in giant magnetoresistance (GMR). Oxides of transition metals possess a variety of electronic structure and properties.

Our research on transition metal oxides is motivated by the prospect of low power dissipation in spintronic devices of transition metal oxides. In these materials, there is interplay between the electronic charge, spin and orbitals. These materials exhibit a significantly higher electronic exchange and correlation due to localized d-orbitals.The degeneracy is partially lifted in these materials due to electrostatic field. Electron spins and charge dipoles are spontaneously formed in oxides of transition metals. The spontaneous polarization and magnetization result in ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties respectively.

A variation in ferroelectric, ferromagnetic and ferroelastic properties is possible in these materials due to compression as well as expansion of the crystalline lattice. The elastic properties of 3-d transition metal oxides must be explored due to coupling between electron spin angular momentum and crystalline symmetry of perovskites.The injection, control and detection of the quantum mechanical electron spin [20] through lattice coupling can lead to a new paradigm shift in nanoelectronics. Oxides of transition metals, however, can also be utilized to inject an electron spin in a controlled manner. These spin states can be injected, transported and detected in transition metals at room temperature. Devices based upon the electron spin in 3-d transition metals can couple electron spin exchange with periodic crystalline structure.Variations in the competition between the crystal field and electron spin exchange due to an external pressure may also result in spin transitions. Oxides of transition metals are magnetic semiconductors and do not suffer from these spin relaxation issues typically associated with ordinary metals.

Pressure-induced spin transitions can be implemented as logic states. Therefore, a novel device based upon the spin angular momentum of an electron provides an alternative to the charge-based logic. The significance of the electron spin angular momentum increases at nanoscale. Novel logic designs can be implemented to utilize the electron spin.

The major focus of this research project is to develop the methods and materials by exploring the elastic properties of ferroic materials. The first principle computational methods are viable techniques to study the atomistic and molecular level logic designs which are physically realizable now [6]. We have employed first principle computational techniques to compute the elastic properties of 3-d transition metal oxides. The coupling between the spin and lattice structure in transition metal oxides is explored in BaScO3, BaTiO3, BaVO3, BaCrO3, BaMnO3 and BaFeO3. We have studied spin-strain coupling in cubic and tetragonal structures of BaTiO3, BaFeO3 and BaxFe1−xTiO3.The devices based upon the spin polarization in the oxides of these transition metals can be utilized for sensing, actuation, and high density data storage and spintronic applications. A whole new range of processors can be developed based upon the spin logic.

ab-initio Hartree Fock (HF), density functional theory (DFT) and hybrid potentials were employed to compute the optimized lattice parameters and elastic properties of perovskite 3-d transition metal oxides. The optimized lattice parameters and elastic properties are interdependent in these materials. An interaction is observed between the electronic charges, spin and lattice degrees of freedom in 3-d transition metal oxides. The coupling between the electronic charge, spin and lattice structures originates due to localization of d-atomic orbitals. The coupling between the electronic charge, spin and crystalline lattice also contributes in the ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties in perovskites. The cubic and tetragonal crystalline structures of perovskite transition metal oxides of ABO3 are studied.

Ghous B Narejo/ CV

The electronic structure and the physics of 3-d perovskite materials is complex and less well considered. Moreover, the novelty of the electronic structure and properties of these perovskites transition metal oxides exceeds the challenge offered by their complex crystalline structures. To achieve the objective of understanding the structure and property relationship of these materials the first-principle computational method is employed.

CRYSTAL09 code is employed for computing crystalline structure, elastic, ferromagnetic and other electronic properties. Second-order elastic constants (SOEC) and bulk moduli (B) are computed in an automated process by employing ELASTCON (elastic constants) and EOS (equation of state) programs in CRYSTAL09 code. ELASTCON, EOS and other computational algorithms are utilized to determine the elastic properties of tetragonal BaT iO3, rutile TiO2, cubic and tetragonal BaFeO3 and the ferromagnetic properties of 3-d transition metal oxides. Multiple methods are employed to crosscheck the consistency of our computational results.

Computational results have motivated us to explore the ferromagnetic properties of 3-d transition metal oxides. Billyscript and CRYSTAL09 code are employed to compute the optimized geometry of the cubic and tetragonal crystalline structure of transition metal oxides of Sc to Cu. Cubic crystalline structure is initially chosen to determine the effect of lattice strains on ferromagnetism due to the spin angular momentum of an electron.The 3-d transition metals and their oxides are challenging as the basis functions and potentials are not fully developed to address the complex physics of the transition metals. Moreover, perovskite crystalline structures are extremely challenging with respect to the quality of computations as the latter requires the well-established methods. Ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties of bulk, surfaces and interfaces are explored by employing CRYSTAL09 code. In our computations done on cubic TMOs of Sc−Fe it is observed that there is a coupling between the crystalline structure and FM/AFM spin polarization. Strained crystalline structures of 3-d transition metal oxides are subjected to changes in the electromagnetic and electronic properties. The electronic structure and properties of bulk, composites, and surfaces of 3-d transition metal oxides are computed successfully.

Teaching Statement

There are certain principles on which I base my research and teaching career. A researcher and teacher must be honest to his research students. To me the parameters of an honest teacher are the knowledge, hard work, dedication, punctuality and the purposefulness. If honest, these attributes flow out directly from the honest nature of the person who teaches.

Moreover, it has also remained my passion to attain the highest standard on the above mentioned parameters. Therefore, I take each day of my professional career as an opportunity to contribute towards the advancement of knowledge through the simplest principles mentioned above.

12

Ghous B Narejo/ CV

I have taught a vast variety of courses both at undergraduate and graduate levels. The technical expertise and intellectual merit is necessary to complete each other. Therefore, the technical competency of the teacher mixed with his honest and purposeful actions would always lead to efficient learning outcomes in his students. This is important for dissemination of knowledge as students consider teacher as their role model due to his honesty, up righted nature and intelligence.

My passion towards my students works like a fountain head which cultivates the adequate environment for the free flow of knowledge. Moreover, I try to portray myself as charismatic as it plays a huge role if added with previously mentioned attributes of my honesty and competency. The passion of a great teacher is always deeply ingrained inside me who kindles the hard work in my students.

Ability of the teacher is to create the vision through the action and drama which gives life to each topic under discussion. He must need to be equipped with the latest knowledge of the subject he is teaching. The practical knowledge of the field applications related with the subject is also essential for the efficient teacher and his successful students.

Lastly the confluence of large field experience and the foreign qualification has collectively enabled me to provide a combination of the technical experience and the highest qualification in my field of expertise.
