STILL IN TIME
These snaps give a sneak peek into the world of a researcher
Thermopower measurements
Shows the intricacy involved in making the electrical contacts for low temperature thermopower measurements
Torque magnetometry
Highly sensitive technique to measure magnetic torque experienced by the sample
MSPD BLO4 beamline, ALBA, Spain
Shows the low temperature XRD beamline setup at a synchrotron centre in Barcelona, Spain
Crystal growth
The process of crystal growth using the floating zone technique in an image furnace. It's nothing less than an artform!
Hall measurement
Shows the electrical contacts made on an AC puck for low temperature Hall measurements
Chemistry on Hot plate
Sol-gel method of synthesis, where one can form nanoparticles of the precursors to facilitate faster reaction kinetics
