Projects/Achievements
At KRMU, involved in developing an Engineering Kitchen. A very versatile system for growth of high quality single crystals has been developed successfully. It has novel approaches in fabrication of a high temperature furnace with capability of functioning at high temperatures upto 1000 °C. The pulling system employs a novel approach. Some results have been published. A new system is under development for zone refining of aluminium rods. It is under the broad approach for converting waste materials into valuable assets. Initial results are very encouraging. 
 
  • Publications: More than 110 research papers in refereed journals, 7 patents, edited 9 Books/Volumes
  • The last research paper, published from KRMU: Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Physics Vol. 59, October 2021, A Novel System for Growth of Single Crystals from the Melt with an Innovative New Pulling Mechanism by Krishan Lal, Ajay Kumar , Rajni Gautam , Ruby Jindal and Nidhi Gaur
