MOTIVE / FIELD OF
RESEARCH:
Ø
Ion transport studies in some doped hydro
gel and Alco gel system:
1.
Synthesis of Doped xerogel by sol-gel technique
2. Characterization by Impedance Spectroscopy, Coulometry,
DTA/TGA, DSC, Polarization Measurement,
IR, XRD & SEM
Working since March 1996 in the general area
of SOLID STATE IONICS / MATERIAL SCIENCE with the specific aim of “Ion
transport studies in some doped hydro gel and alco gel system” prepared by sol-gel technique.
The techniques used are:
(I) Impedance
Spectroscopy, Coulometry, DTA/TGA, DSC, Polarization Measurement, Sol-Gel Thin
film by thermal vapour evaporation technique, Polymer Solution Casting etc.
(II)
Surface morphological techniques: Scanning
Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
(III) Chemical Analysis techniques: X-ray Photoelectron
Spectroscopy (XPS), Ultra-Violet
Photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), EDAX, and Secondary Ions Mass
Spectroscopy (SIMS).
