My research work has focused on Functional Oxide Materials, Thin Films, Heterostructures, Multiferroics, Nanomaterials, Swift Heavy Ion Irradiation and Material Modification and Experimental data analysis for publication-oriented research. I can assist with materials characterization data analysis, interpretation, plotting and scientific presentation. My areas of support include X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), current-voltage (I-V) analysis, magnetisation data, dielectric/impedance spectroscopy, soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (soft-XAS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Specific support areas include: XRD: Peak Identification, Crystallite Size Estimation, Williamson-Hall analysis, Phase & Space Group determination and Rietveld refinement support for powder XRD data. XAS: soft XAS data interpretation support, with experience using CTM4XAS, ATHENA and DEMETER. XPS: plotting, peak assignment, interpretation and discussion support. Magnetisation: analysis and interpretation of Magnetisation-versus-Temperature data, M-H loops, Magnetic Isotherms and related plots. I-V analysis: Plotting, Interpretation and possible mechanism identification based on the provided data. Dielectric/Impedance: Dielectric plots, Nyquist plots, Bode plots and publication-quality figure preparation. Tools and software I use include Python, FullProf, CTM4XAS, ATHENA/DEMETER, XPSpeak41, VESTA, Gwyddion/WSxM, SCAPS, Quantum ESPRESSO and Material Studio. In addition to data analysis, I can also provide academic and publication support, including manuscript improvement, figure captions, research reports, literature review organization, reviewer-response drafting, reference formatting and technical explanation of materials characterization concepts as required.

In this paper, the particle size-dependent properties of ZrO2 have been investigated. XRD analysis indicated that the crystal structure of ZrO2 nanoparticles varies with sintering temperature, while crystallite size decreases with an increase in sintering temperature. A small variation in the optical energy band gap is observed in UV–vis spectroscopy. Resistance versus time data was carried out for the gas sensing application, and it was observed that the particle size and nature of the gas play a key role in the sensing of the gases. In the present case, ZrO2 nanoparticles possess more sensitivity to acetone than methanol. }} . Functional Materials Letters.
