Research


Dr. Subhash's research aims to unveil the relevant correlations that control the physics in the strongly correlated regime, and to develop few new systems at low-dimensions useful for novel magnetoelectronic and microwave devices. Understanding the physics of strongly correlated electron systems is one of the most fascinating and challenging problems in the condensed matter physics. In a recent work, he addressed the Quantum Aspects in Transverse-field Ising Chain Quasi one-Dimensional Columbites and reported the novel methodology of estimating exchange interactions and ground-state spin configuration. Some of his recent publications also addresses the new methodology to establish the H-T phase diagram in several Columbites and spinels. Some of this recent work also reported Re-entrant spin-glass behavior and complex magnetic properties of the few ferrimagnetic spinels and exchange bias in glassy-antiferromagnets.h-index 23, i10-index 43

Dr. Subhash's research also focuses on the Magneto-transport Phenomena in Charge-Ordered Manganites, Spin-Ice and Spin-Glass phenomena synthesis and characterization of Nanostructured Magnetic Materials, High-k dielectrics and Relaxor-ferroelectrics. In a latest report, he demonstrated the origin of relaxor like behavior in Dy2O3 doped KNaNbO3 ceramics and Zn1-xNixO/NiO two-phase.
