Dharmalingam Prabhakaran

I joined the Oxford Physics Department in 1999 and hold a permanent position as Researcher. I am leading the crystal growth unit in the Clarendon Laboratory , which includes both standard and more novel techniques from flux, hydrothermal, Bridgman to top seeded solution growth, chemical vapour transport and optical floating zone techniques.  I have been awarded the Kurti Prize twice for Outstanding Technical Work in Condensed Matter Physics at Oxford. 

My research interests are bulk growth of frustrated magnetic oxides, multiferroics, topological insulators and superconducting materials.
