Areas of Specialization :-

( M.Sc. Physics And M.Sc. Electronics)

b) At research level the department is engaged in following activities:

(i) High Energy Physics:

The High Energy Physics group has been working in the field of Ultra relativistic Heavy ion Collisions using Nuclear Emulsions, Bubble Chambers and Electronic detectors. The main emphasis of the group has been to study the properties of nuclear matter under conditions of intense high temperature and density, the state known as "Quark Gluon Plasma", in which nuclear matter exists in a deconfined state. Presently the group is working on ALICE and STAR projects at CERN, Geneva and BNL, USA, respectively. These experiments have participation of nearly 80 institutions in 26 countries and about 45 institutions in 9 countries, respectively. For more information Click Here

(ii) Solid State Physics Group:

Crystal Growth and Materials Research Group (CGMR). The CGMR group of Department of Physics has been working on Crystal Growth and Materials Characterization of Magnetic, Dielectric, Ferroelectric, Defect characterization of Perovskite structured materials. Other materials grown by using different growth techniques and investigated include pure and substituted hexaferrite, Modified lead titanate ceramics and Rare earth containing materials.
X-ray Crystallography Group:
The growth of single crystals of some medicinally important organic compounds using solution technique and their structure determination using X-ray photographic detector and computer based techniques.The materials being invesigated are Steroids, Alkaloids, Coumarins, Diterpenoids, biphenyls, Liquid crystals, etc.

(iii) Nuclear Theory:

The research group in Nuclear Theory is engaged in the study of systematics of various physically measurable quantities that characterize the structure of nuclei (both exotic and non- exotic) in the wide mass range starting from A 90 to 140. The group has indigenously developed software for carrying out HF, HFB, VAP and Cranking calculations. Phenomena like coexistence of shapes, phase and shape transition, deformation systematics and spectroscopic of high spin states have been studied in terms of the momenta, angular momenta, single particle energies of the nucleons constituting the nuclei and also in terms of the occupation probabilities of the various nucleonic orbits.

(iv) Molecular Spectroscopy:

The research group is engaged in the study of the molecular structure, vibrational and electronic spectra and thermodynamic characteristics of polyatomic molecules in the ground and excited electronic states using both experimental and theoretical techniques.

v) Electronics:

The research group in Electronics is engaged in the fabrication of semiconductor devices and their optimization for opto-electronic and related devices application. The theory , technology, characterization and applications of semiconductor devices that utilize schottky barrier rectifiers are examined.
