Functional Materials
Functional materials represent a fast-growing class of advanced materials and composites, which possess unique properties and/or functions. Examples of functional materials include magnetic, magnetocaloric, energy storage (battery) materials, energy harvesting (solar cell) materials, piezoelectric, multiferroic, etc. Functional materials are found in all classes of materials: ceramic, metallic, organics, inorganics, polymers, etc.
Our department has several functional material groups which include:
- Magnetocaloric materials
- Battery materials
- Terahertz materials
- Photovoltaic materials
- Metamaterial
