Present research programme : 2007-

1. Search for thermal expansion inferro/antiferromagnetic materials covering negative thermal expansion and negative thermal coefficient of resistivity, particularly in isotropic cubicintermetallic Anti-perovskite like materials, focusing on low Z elements with out oxygen.

2. Magnetism in small particle including bio magnetic materials- role of core-shell spin structure- unconventional relaxation.

3. High Curie temperature intermetallic materials- ZT factor for high thermo electric materials.

4. Experimental investigations of exchange coupling between grains and dipoles in nano composite magnets embedded with soft and hard magnetic phases for high energy product, (BH)max, material.
