Utpal Chatterjee
Assistant Professor, Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
My research is focused on a branch of physics, commonly known as condensed matter physics, which is essentially the study of physical properties of matter in their liquid or solid state employing the principles of quantum as well as statistical mechanics. My research interest lies in the experimental investigations of various solid state systems which exhibit novel electronic and magnetic properties, such as cuprate high temperature superconductors, colossal magneto resistive manganites, different transition metal dichalcogenides hosting charge density wave (CDW) as well as metal insulator (MI) transition and a number of narrow band gap semiconductors displaying unique topological and thermoelectric properties.
