These materials play a pivotal role in the development of cutting-edge gamma and X-ray detectors, demonstrating my commitment to advancing technology in the realm of radiation detection. In addition to this, I have delved into High-Pressure Bridgman Technology, further broadening my expertise in crystal growth techniques. My work in dicing and polishing has been instrumental in enhancing the performance of gamma and X-ray detectors, as well as in the production of CZT substrates, particularly for infrared (IR) detectors and solar applications. To expand the horizons of my research and explore new possibilities, I have embarked on a journey to cultivate Gallium Oxide (Ga2O3) single crystals using the Czochralski (CZ) technique. This endeavor exemplifies my dedication to pushing the boundaries of crystal growth technologies and extending their applications to diverse fields.

  During this period, I have grown all inorganic Cs2PbCl2I2 perovskites single crystal by melt method for FET device application and also grown new DJ phase halide perovskite crystal by solution route. I have also grown the Co based halide crystal for catalysis application and Piperazine based metal halide crystal for magnetic application. Pure and doped SnSe and InSe crystal were grown by Bridgman method.
