Amlan Biswas

Dr. Amlan Biswas is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Florida, where he leads experimental research in condensed matter physics. He earned his PhD from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 1999. His laboratory (MAG Lab) focuses on oxide materials like manganites and cuprates, investigating phenomena including magnetism, superconductivity, and phase separation using techniques such as thin-film deposition (pulsed laser), scanning probe microscopy, and cryogenic measurements.

His research explores:

• Transport/surface properties of magnetic oxides
• Electric-field control of electronic phases
• Strain engineering of thin films
• Dynamic phase separation mechanisms

Publications (2017-2009) predominantly analyze oxide thin films, revealing trends in strain-responsive electronic behavior, magnetoelectric coupling, and nanoscale phase separation. Notable technical approaches include atomic force microscopy, neutron scattering, and magnetotransport measurements.

Research is supported by:

• National Science Foundation (DMR 1410237, 0804452)
• National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (DMR-00-84173)

He teaches undergraduate/graduate courses including Thermal Physics, Electromagnetism, and Advanced Lab, and mentors students in nanofabrication and measurement techniques.
