Modification of ground state property on size reduction to 1D

Nanowires, because of their unique one-dimensional like structural characteristics and size effects, exhibit many novel physical
properties, that are different from their bulk counterparts. Main motivation of our investigation is to show, how size reduction
affects competing interactions in complex oxides and thus, changes their ground state. Magnetization measurement on half doped
manganite nanowire shows several magnetic transitions which are different from bulk. Understanding of magnetic transitions done
using several experiments like magneto caloric study, Neutron diffraction study, which shows the presence of phase coexistence of
magnetic phases (antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic).As the experiments are carried out on ensemble of nanowires, question may
arise whether the phase coexistence observed in nanowires is due to size dispersion. To answer this question, instead of ensemble
of nanowires, noise spectroscopy study of single nanowire (<50 nm) level is done to demonstrate how the noise spectroscopy can
explain the magnetic transitions and phase separation.Field dependent as well as temperature dependent noise spectroscopy study
was done on a single nano-wire to avoid the problems of size dispersion with the specific aim of corroborating the magnetic phase
transitions as well as phase co-existence at a single NW level. I would discuss briefly on how to grow nano structured material and
about the experiments both in ensemble and single nanowire of perovskite oxides. Experiments with single nanowires; mainly on
fabrication of single nanowire based devices, using different lithographic techniques challenges would be discussed.
