Arjun Pathak, Assistant Professor, Physics

Arjun Pathak, assistant professor of physics, published the peer-reviewed scientific article “Effect of Atomic Disorder on Electronic, Magnetic and Electron-Transport Properties of Ti2MnAl” (in press) in the Journal of Alloys and Compounds (JALCOM), one of the best journals in interdisciplinary materials science and solids-state chemistry and physics. The article, coauthored by Randall Filippone, electrical engineering technology major at Buffalo State, along with other collaborators, reports the comprehensive computational and experimental study to shed light on understanding the material for the spintronic application, where one can deploy the spin of electrons rather than the current generated by their motion, thereby enhance the efficiency of devices. Dr. Pathak and Mr. Filippone measured the magnetic and electrical resistivity of Ti2MnAl and verified the property that was predicted by theoretical calculations.
