CeNSE OVERVIEW
The Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) was established in 2010 to pursue interdisciplinary research across several disciplines with a focus on nanoscale systems. Current research topics include, but are not limited to nanoelectronics, MEMS/NEMS, microfluidics, nanomaterials and devices, photonics, nano-biotechnology, solar cells, neuro-biology, quantum and neuromorphic computing, sensors, devices, thin-films, and optoelectronics.
The centre offers M.Tech and PhD programs in a wide range of areas and has close interactions with the industry. It houses a 14000 sq. ft. state-of-the art nanofabrication and clean room facility (NNFC). It also houses a comprehensive micro nano characterization facility (MNCF). Device packaging, integration and system development is supported by the Systems and Packaging Facility (S&PF). The in-house technology business incubator, INCeNSE proudly incubates 6 start-ups today, with access to the best-in-class infrastructure, labs, and mentoring support.

Surface Engineering of Ti–Pt Bottom Electrodes for Precise Texture Control of PZT Thin Films on Si
This paper demonstrates a simple method to control the orientation of PZT thin films by engineering the platinum bottom electrode on silicon substrates.
Spin-orbit coupling signatures in polycrystalline bismuth thin films
This work investigates the structural and electronic transport properties of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)-grown bismuth (Bi) thin films on Si (111) substrates, with a focus on understanding spin-orbit coupling (SOC) mechanisms.
Synchronous Polarization Switching at Sub-Coercive Fields through Stochastic Resonance in Ferroelectric Thin-Film Capacitors
This study demonstrates stochastic resonance (SR) in thin-film ferroelectric Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) capacitors, where an optimal amount of noise enables detection of weak sub-threshold signals.
Magnetically Maneuvered Quantum Sensors
This research presents a mobile quantum sensing platform that integrates nanodiamonds containing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers with magnetically controlled helical microbots.
Suspended guided mode resonator in germanium for photothermal detection
This research demonstrates a compact infrared (IR) photodetector based on a suspended germanium guided mode resonance (GMR) membrane.
Enhancing the Growth Quality of Perovskite on MeO-2PACz by Introducing a Phenethylammonium Seed Layer
PEAI-treated SAMs improve perovskite film quality and charge transport, boosting solar-cell efficiency from 19.27% to 21.76% through larger grains, reduced strain, and longer carrier lifetimes.
