Prof. Richard Pinto delivered an invited lecture at MIT, Manipal
Prof. Richard Pinto delivered an Invited Lecture on 'Pulsed Laser Deposition- 30 years and after' during the 5th National Conference on Condensed Matter Physics and Applications [CMPA 2017] held at Department of Physics, Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal University.
Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) is a powerful technique extensively used for growing thin films for all multi-component materials introduced by Prof Pinto at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) way back in 1990. One of the pioneering results obtained at TIFR during 1990 to 2002 is the realization of highest critical current density, Jc, of 14 million amps per sq. cm at the liquid nitrogen boil-off temperature, 77K in 1992 in the new superconductor YBCO thin films grown by PLD. This result published in Applied Physics Letters in 1993 has very high citation index; equally important, this high Jc record still stands today even after 25 long years! Prof. Pinto is a leading expert in Pulsed laser Deposition in India. He also will be co-chairing the International Conference on Laser Deposition (iCOLD-2017) to be held at IIT Madras (All India NIRF Rank No. 1, Score 87.96) during November 20-22, 2017.
