Infrastructure and Resources
Laboratories:
The
state-of-art laboratories of the department have adequate modern equipment for
regular practical in LASER Lab., Microwave electronics and Advance Communication
Lab, Condensed Matter Physics Lab, and Nuclear Physics Lab, which is augmented
every year.
Research
Facilties:
Although,
the PG program is relatively recent but it has attained repute being recognized
by all major scientific & research organizations. The faculty members are
actively engaged in research (List of Publications) and the students, besides studying the
regular courses, are provided adequate exposure of frontier research in Physics
by way of summer training, after II Semester at various research organizations.
Recently, our students worked during summer in National research organizations
such as BARC Mumabi, RRCAT Indore, IUAC New Delhi, NSC New Delhi, University of
Pune, Pune, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, IPR
Gandhinagar, CSIO Chandigarh, WIHG Dehardun etc. The faculty members are engaged
in research in the following areas:
-
Study
of some technologically important binary alloys and compounds by Compton
scattering technique.
-
Study and characterization of electrodeposited nano structured
thin films of Cu, Zn and Ag .
-
Study of electronic structure properties in various high Tc
cuprate Perovskites.
-
Optical, electrical and thermal properties on Semiconducting
Glassy materials.
-
Synthesis and characterization of Ferromagnetic TM-doped ZnO.
-
Modeling of binary & ternary semiconductor Nanostructures using
nextnano3
-
Noise Suppression in image processing using Wavelets.
-
Application of chaotic dynamical systems in cryptography.
-
Study and Development of glaze materials to be used in Solar
Thermal Appliances.

Achievements
Very
recently, in Feb. 2008, the Department organized a National workshop on
Radiochemistry and Applications of Radioisotopes (NWRAR). This workshop was
organized in joint auspicious of Indian Association of Nuclear Chemists and
Allied Scientist (IANCAS) and Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences (BRNS). In
this workshop, eminent scientists from BARC Mumbai delivered special lectures on
specialized topics related to Nuclear Physics, Nuclear Reactors, Atomic energy
program in India, Production & Applications of Radioisotopes etc. The lectures
were supplemented by specialized experimental training and the participants were
provided hands on experience in use of Nuclear Instruments.
