We apply continuous wave (CW) and photoinduced Raman, infrared and visible spectroscopy for studying electron and lattice dynamics in correlated electron compounds. In collaboration with Center of excellence in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, we use a NT-MDT Raman spectrometer for Raman studies, while BOMEM MB Series FTIR spectrometers and HP 8453 UV-Vis spectrometer are used for infrared and UV-visible spectroscopy.
