About the Department

The Department of Physics has been established to produce young students with an orientation towards a career in Physics as well as research on cutting-edge topics, having direct relevance to current science and technologies. The main objective is to provide strong foundations to the students. Also, this Department is trying to create an environment of scientific excellence where every member will be given ample opportunities to excel in their fields. Teaching and research are complementary to each other in creating a healthy, vibrant and productive academic environment. At present, the Department has faculty members who are involved in high-quality research in thrust areas. This research activity will motivate the students who plan to make a career in physical sciences. The Department is striving to be recognized as a Centre of Excellence in education and research on national as well as international level. The Department aims to provide a beneficial impact on nearby educational communities by providing advanced education and research. 

The Department offers M. Sc. and Ph. D. program in Physics. The Master degree program has a balanced, semester and choice based credit course structure with flexible, seamless curricula which emphasize interdisciplinary nature of Science and promote exploration, innovation and research. The Department has been involved in a wide variety of areas in experimental and theoretical aspects such as design of electron and ion source, interactions of electron/ion with thin films, design of DC magnetron sputtering plasma, fabrication of MOS/MIS structure and its electrical properties. Also, proactively involved in development of 2D materials, energetic materials for utilization of efficient renewable/electric/magnetic energy storage devices, plasma physics, nanomaterials and composites and their applications. Furthermore, the study of plasma parameters, periodic, quasi periodic, chaotic behavior of plasma and intrinsic noise induced coherency in plasma. The broad area of theoretical research encompasses understanding of electronic, magnetic, transport, thermo-electric, optical and many dynamical properties in a range of low-dimensional quantum systems (2D materials, nanotube, quantum dot, topological insulators, spintronics, nano-junctions and etc) using quantum many-body theory, density functional theory (DFT) and/or molecular dynamics simulations (MD), numerical simulations to understand the evolution of our solar system.

Department maintains active collaborations with UCLA (USA), Brunel University (UK), University of Bath (UK), Upsala University (Sweden), Michigan Technological University (USA), Central University of Gujrat, Panjab University, University of Pune, H.P. University, NIT Surat, NIT Kurukshetra, JNCASR and IUAC New Delhi
