Dr. Chiranjib Chakrabarti’s research focuses on the design, synthesis, and advanced characterisation of functional oxide materials for energy and multifunctional electronic applications. His work centres on entropy-engineered and lead-free perovskite thin films, Ruddlesden–Popper phases, and multiferroic systems, with a strong emphasis on understanding structure–property relationships at the nanoscale.

His key research interests include:

His key research interests include:

• Entropy-engineered and high-entropy perovskite materials for enhanced photovoltaic, dielectric, and multiferroic performance

• Lead-free ferroelectric and multiferroic materials for sustainable energy and spintronic applications

• Magnetoelectric coupling, exchange bias, and complex magnetic phenomena in oxide ceramics and thin films

• Thin-film growth and interface engineering using sol–gel processing, spin coating, sputtering, and pulsed laser deposition (basic)

• Defect chemistry and morphotropic phase boundary engineering in BiFeO₃-based solid solutions

• Advanced structural and functional characterisation, including X-ray diffraction refinement, dielectric and ferroelectric measurements, magnetic characterisation (PPMS), AFM, SEM, and impedance spectroscopy

• Emerging applications of AI/ML-assisted microscopy and materials informatics for functional material optimisation

His broader research goal is to develop cost-effective, environmentally sustainable functional materials for next-generation energy harvesting, storage, and multifunctional device technologies.
