11. Contribution of National/International issues; if any.

 Major Significant Scientific Achievements of national and international level are listed in the following:
(i) I have custom designed and indigenously developed an S bend filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) system for the first time in the country (CSIR News, Vol. 56 No.9, 15th May 2006). The system has been used to deposit pure and doped tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films. The system has been modified and two novel “cathodic jet carbon arc” (CJCA) and “anodic jet carbon arc” (AJCA) techniques have been conceived and got fabricated and integrated into the existing system. Undoped and doped amorphous carbon films with embedded nanoparticles are being grown for enhanced tribological and field emission applications. ta-C as a novel  material and Cathodic arc as a process are of great technological significance in many areas which include protective and bio compatible coatings on heart valves, protective coatings on compact discs &  very fine tools.
(ii) FCVA system is being used in the synthesis of few layer graphene which is a wonder material. We have succeeded in transferring graphene on any other substrate.
(iii) We have also synthesized graphene oxide by MPECVD system using Ar and C2H2 gas mixture.
(iv)We have developed the Process know how of stress relieved DLC coatings on Ge substrates of 250 mm size with IR transmission > 87% in 8-12 μm range which meets various MIL specification together with designing and fabricating Plasma CVD system and the same has been transferred to IRDE Dehradun (DRDO, NAG).
(v)A new technique known as saddle field fast atom beam source has been set up in a conventional 30 cm dia. vacuum system for the deposition of diamond like carbon (DLC) films. We have been successful in depositing DLC films for the first time using CH4 gas using this source. Saddle field FAB grown DLC films have extremely low stress (0.10 – 0.25 GPa) and high hardness (9-22 GPa) at 50 gm load and it has been used to coat stainless rajor blades for enhancing their shaving efficiency. Further, a novel method to filter the neutral and ionic radicals coming out of a FAB source has been invented by use of a deflector arrangement placed in front of a saddle field source where DLC films can be simultaneously deposited using neutral and ionic radicals.
(vi) Metal and Si incorporated DLC films have been found to show reduced stresses which are useful for tribological applications.
(vii) We have developed and demonstrated high efficiency a-Si: H based solar cells (11.3%, AM1.5, 100 mW/cm2 on 1 cm2 area) and fully integrated solar panels for the operation of pocket transistors. These were tested at IACS kolkata. and were comparable to the best results reported in USA and Japan working in this area at that time. The double tandem solar cells were made using same material with different thickness.
(viii) We have developed an improved process for the production of high resistivity a-Si: H films in cascaded glow discharge reactor which has been indigenously made in the laboratory (Indian patent no. 165530). The films prepared in the second reactor of the cascade when both the reactors are energized simultaneously, exhibit very high resistivity (1012-1013ohm cm), higher optical band gap (2.0 -2.1 eV), less density of states and less prone to S-W effect compared to the films prepared in the first reactor.
(ix) A simple and novel Process for making large grains (up to 6400 Ao) has been explored. This is to deposit the film initially in amorphous form and then crystallize at low-temperatures instead of high temperatures.  The grain size in this process is influenced by the deposition and annealing temperatures, the deposition rates and film thickness. TFTs have been fabricated in these low-temperature crystallized LPCVD and APCVD silicon films using self-aligned gate technology. Carrier mobility as high as 27-28 cm2/V sec was obtained in LPCVD silicon films.
(x) a-Si: H films have been grown at high growth rate (upto 18 Ao/sec) with acceptable opto-electronic properties. These high rate deposited a-Si: H films have been used in making various devices where we use 4-6 μm thick a-Si: H films in developing pixel diodes for X-ray detectors (IIT, Kanpur), optical addressed spatial light modulators (OASLM) (for LCD group in NPL) etc.
(xi)Amorphous, micro/nano silicon films are being grown at high rate using microwave/VHF PECVD system. The work of making single junction and tandem solar cells is to be started on larger areas with financial assistance from MNRE, Govt. of India under JNNSM solar mission.
(xii)Preparation, characterization and switching properties of pure and doped chalcogenide glasses of As-Ge-Te and Ge-Se-Te and photo contraction effect in pure chalcogen thin films.
