Department of
Physics
The Physics Department is one of the
oldest departments in the university. In the beginning it was
started to cater to the needs of undergraduate teaching in various
disciplines including those of Technology and Agriculture. M.Sc.
(Physics) programme with specialization in Agricultural Meteorology,
Biophysics and Instrumentation was started in 1973. A new field of
specialization of Digital Electronics was also later added in the
M.Sc. (Physics) programme. Ph.D. in Physics programme was started
in 1983 by the department. A new programme of M.Sc. (Biophysics) was
started in 2002, which is likely to be merged with RITL. The
admissions to these programme are made through an entrance
examination conducted by the university in the month of May. The
department has facilities for research both in theoretical and
experimental physics.
Mandate
(i)
Imparting instructions to the UG students of the constituent
colleges of the university.
(ii)
Training of postgraduates with emphasis on nanotechnology,
smart materials, superconductivity, nuclear reactor technology.
Research Trust Areas
Frontline research work
is being conducted through outside funded research projects (DST,
UGC, CSIR, BRNS) in the following thrust areas.
1.
Material Science
·
Synthesis and
characterization of nano-materials
·
Swift heavy ion
induced tailoring of materials
·
High Temperature
Superconductors
2.

Linkages
The department has 5 projects supported by national agencies (CSIR,
UGC, DST and BRNS). Faculty members have active collaboration with
other departments of the university. The faculty members also
utilize the national facilities available in NPL, SSPL, IUAC, New
Delhi, UGC- DAE, Indore & Kolkata centers and IIT Kanpur, BARC.
Salient
Accomplishments
During the last 20 years or so, the department has considerably
improved the infrastructure by way of equipments, modernization and
availability of financial resources from various funding agencies.
Our graduates (Ph.D’s) are well placed in reputed institutes. The
department organized National DAE, Solid State Physics in 1986 and
DAE NP Symposium in 1996 and a national workshop on Radiochemistry
and Applications in 2000 supported by BRNS (DAE) and National
Instrumentation Conference 2003.
