My research experience includes innovative paradigm of surface-confined architectures using optical and redox-active chromophores on solid substrates (Glass, ITO and Single-crystal silicon (100) wafers). The protocol starts with the synthesis and characterization of ruthenium and osmium based poly-pyridyl and imidazole complexes in exclusion of air and light using standard Schlenk-line technique. These chromophores were characterized with full battery of physico-chemical techniques viz. H1-NMR, C13-NMR, ESI-MS, MALDI-TOF, UV-vis, Infra- red, elemental analysis, cyclic voltammetry and single crystal and powder X-rays diffraction methods. Then, chromophores were covalently immobilized using a linker in zero air under Glove Box and the integrity of molecules has been verified with array of surface analysis techniques i.e., XPS, NEXAPS, AFM and contact angle. Importantly, the functionalized substrates were tested for opto-electronic and lithographic parameters, and found to be quite stable under thermal and potential stress via various electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, DPV, Chronocoulometry, chronoamperometry, chronoabsorptometry, Tofel plot etc.
Importantly, now gaining experience in “Gallium nitride based Molecular Device Fabrication” using standard photolithography, Metal deposition, Mask aligner, Rapid thermal annealer (RTP), Reactive ion-etching (RIE), ALD technique. TEACHING EXPERIENCE
