Research summary
AI-generated

Atanu Saha's research focuses on ferroelectric materials, particularly hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO), a thin-film material used in advanced computer memory and transistor technology. Work includes studying atomic-scale defects, domain walls (boundaries between differently oriented regions in the material), and using computational modeling (first-principles calculations and phase-field simulations) to understand how these materials behave electrically. A separate line of work addresses failure analysis in engineering materials, such as boiler tube damage and heat-treatment methods for hardening steel.
