ResearchStatement
Silicon (Si) microfabrication techniques have been highly successful in reducing the size
of MOSFET. This trend has resulted in ultra-small gate lengths for MOSFETs. According
to Moore’s law, the number of transistors on a chip is expected to double every year. It
has been predicted that Si MOSFET will continue to scale down to device dimensions of
10 nm.
Spintronics is one of the very exciting alternative technologies. The spin of electron is a
quantum mechanical property. Coupling between electron charge and spin in transition
metals results in giant magnetoresistance (GMR). Oxides of transition metals possess a
variety of electronic structure and properties.
Our research on transition metal oxides is motivated by the prospect of low power
dissipation in spintronic devices of transition metal oxides. In these materials, there is
interplay between the electronic charge, spin and orbitals. These materials exhibit a
significantly higher electronic exchange and correlation due to localized d-orbitals.
The degeneracy is partially lifted in these materials due to electrostatic field. Electron
spins and charge dipoles are spontaneously formed in oxides of transition metals. The
spontaneous polarization and magnetization result in ferroelectric and ferromagnetic
properties respectively.
A variation in ferroelectric, ferromagnetic and ferroelastic properties is possible in these
materials due to compression as well as expansion of the crystalline lattice. The elastic
11. Ghous B Narejo/ CV

properties of 3-d transition metal oxides must be explored due to coupling between
electron spin angular momentum and crystalline symmetry of perovskites.
The injection, control and detection of the quantum mechanical electron spin [20]
through lattice coupling can lead to a new paradigm shift in nanoelectronics. Oxides of
transition metals, however, can also be utilized to inject an electron spin in a controlled
manner. These spin states can be injected, transported and detected in transition metals at
room temperature. Devices based upon the electron spin in 3-d transition metals can
couple electron spin exchange with periodic crystalline structure.
Variations in the competition between the crystal field and electron spin exchange due to
an external pressure may also result in spin transitions. Oxides of transition metals are
magnetic semiconductors and do not suffer from these spin relaxation issues typically
associated with ordinary metals.
Pressure-induced spin transitions can be implemented as logic states. Therefore, a novel
device based upon the spin angular momentum of an electron provides an alternative to
the charge-based logic. The significance of the electron spin angular momentum
increases at nanoscale. Novel logic designs can be implemented to utilize the electron
spin.
The major focus of this research project is to develop the methods and materials by
exploring the elastic properties of ferroic materials. The first principle computational
methods are viable techniques to study the atomistic and molecular level logic designs
which are physically realizable now [6]. We have employed first principle computational
techniques to compute the elastic properties of 3-d transition metal oxides. The coupling
between the spin and lattice structure in transition metal oxides is explored in BaScO3,
BaTiO3, BaVO3, BaCrO3, BaMnO3 and BaFeO3. We have studied spin-strain coupling in
cubic and tetragonal structures of BaTiO3, BaFeO3 and BaxFe1−xTiO3.
The devices based upon the spin polarization in the oxides of these transition metals can
be utilized for sensing, actuation, and high density data storage and spintronic
applications. A whole new range of processors can be developed based upon the spin
logic.
ab-initio Hartree Fock (HF), density functional theory (DFT) and hybrid potentials were
employed to compute the optimized lattice parameters and elastic properties of perovskite
3-d transition metal oxides. The optimized lattice parameters and elastic properties are
interdependent in these materials. An interaction is observed between the electronic
charges, spin and lattice degrees of freedom in 3-d transition metal oxides. The coupling
between the electronic charge, spin and lattice structures originates due to localization of
d-atomic orbitals. The coupling between the electronic charge, spin and crystalline lattice
also contributes in the ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties in perovskites. The
cubic and tetragonal crystalline structures of perovskite transition metal oxides of ABO3
are studied.
The electronic structure and the physics of 3-d perovskite materials is complex and less
well considered. Moreover, the novelty of the electronic structure and properties of these
perovskites transition metal oxides exceeds the challenge offered by their complex
crystalline structures. To achieve the objective of understanding the structure and
12. Ghous B Narejo/ CV

property relationship of these materials the first-principle computational method is
employed.
CRYSTAL09 code is employed for computing crystalline structure, elastic,
ferromagnetic and other electronic properties. Second-order elastic constants (SOEC) and
bulk moduli (B) are computed in an automated process by employing ELASTCON
(elastic constants) and EOS (equation of state) programs in CRYSTAL09 code.
ELASTCON, EOS and other computational algorithms are utilized to determine the
elastic properties of tetragonal BaT iO3, rutile TiO2, cubic and tetragonal BaFeO3 and the
ferromagnetic properties of 3-d transition metal oxides. Multiple methods are employed
to crosscheck the consistency of our computational results.
Computational results have motivated us to explore the ferromagnetic properties of 3-d
transition metal oxides. Billyscript and CRYSTAL09 code are employed to compute the
optimized geometry of the cubic and tetragonal crystalline structure of transition metal
oxides of Sc to Cu. Cubic crystalline structure is initially chosen to determine the effect
of lattice strains on ferromagnetism due to the spin angular momentum of an electron.
The 3-d transition metals and their oxides are challenging as the basis functions and
potentials are not fully developed to address the complex physics of the transition metals.
Moreover, perovskite crystalline structures are extremely challenging with respect to the
quality of computations as the latter requires the well-established methods. Ferroelectric
and ferromagnetic properties of bulk, surfaces and interfaces are explored by employing
CRYSTAL09 code. In our computations done on cubic TMOs of Sc−Fe it is observed
that there is a coupling between the crystalline structure and FM/AFM spin polarization.
Strained crystalline structures of 3-d transition metal oxides are subjected to changes in
the electromagnetic and electronic properties. The electronic structure and properties of
bulk, composites, and surfaces of 3-d transition metal oxides are computed successfully.
Teaching Statement
There are certain principles on which I base my research and teaching career. A
researcher and teacher must be honest to his research students. To me the parameters of
an honest teacher are the knowledge, hard work, dedication, punctuality and the
purposefulness. If honest, these attributes flow out directly from the honest nature of the
person who teaches.
Moreover, it has also remained my passion to attain the highest standard on the above
mentioned parameters. Therefore, I take each day of my professional career as an
opportunity to contribute towards the advancement of knowledge through the simplest
principles mentioned above.
I have taught a vast variety of courses both at undergraduate and graduate levels. The
technical expertise and intellectual merit is necessary to complete each other. Therefore,
the technical competency of the teacher mixed with his honest and purposeful actions
would always lead to efficient learning outcomes in his students. This is important for
13. Ghous B Narejo/ CV
13
dissemination of knowledge as students consider teacher as their role model due to his
honesty, up righted nature and intelligence.
My passion towards my students works like a fountain head which cultivates the
adequate environment for the free flow of knowledge. Moreover, I try to portray myself
as charismatic as it plays a huge role if added with previously mentioned attributes of my
honesty and competency. The passion of a great teacher is always deeply ingrained inside
me who kindles the hard work in my students.
Ability of the teacher is to create the vision through the action and drama which gives life
to each topic under discussion. He must need to be equipped with the latest knowledge of
the subject he is teaching. The practical knowledge of the field applications related with
the subject is also essential for the efficient teacher and his successful students.
Lastly the confluence of large field experience and the foreign qualification has
collectively enabled me to provide a combination of the technical experience and the
highest qualification in my field of expertise.
