During his doctoral studies, Jain assisted his mentor, K. S. Krishnan, the co-discoverer of the Raman Effect,[4] on the thermal conductivity of solids.[3] It was during this time, the duo developed a methodology for the measurement of thermal conductivity in solids at high temperatures[5] which was published by them in an article, Thermionic Constants of Metals and Semiconductors. II. Metals of the First Transition Group in 1952 in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences[6] and later explained further by way of another article, Determination of thermal conductivities at high temperaturesinBritish Journal of Applied Physics in 1954.[7] The measurement protocol later came to be known as the "Jain-Krishnan Method".[3] Polar crystals, thin films and semiconductor devices are some of the other areas he worked on and he was credited with developing experimental techniques in these disciplines which are in use around the world.[8] He also contributed to the development of electronic equipment for the military.[9] His studies have been documented by way of a number of articles[note 3] and he published four books viz. Recent advances in semiconductors: theory and technology,[10]Nonmetallic crystals,[11]Germanium-silicon strained layers and heterostructures,[12] and Electronic absorption and internal and external vibrational data of atomic and molecular ions doped in alkali halide crystals.[13]
