IEEE NITK - Virtual Expo Project Reports

  • Multiscale Materials Analysis | Python, VESTA, abTEM, ASE
    IEEE - NITK Chapter | Oct. 2024 – Apr. 2025
    Studied the working principles of Electron Microscopy (TEM & SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and explored simulation tools like ASE, VESTA, and abTEM for analysing electronic properties of materials. Conducted simulations on materials such as GaAs, Re₆Se₈Cl₂, cubic BAs, SrTiO₃, Ag, Au, Hg, and conductive polymers.
