MAJOR FOCUS AREAS:
TEACHING/RESEARCH :
SPECIALIZATION
-
A major physics
department has distinct research groups and expertise both in
Theoretical and Experimental fields and they are complimentary to
each other.
-
In keeping with this
tradition the department from its very inception and active faculty
member and research groups in both theoretical and experimental
fields.
THEORETICAL AREA :
-
The Department had a
major research group under Prof. P. L. Srivastava, FNASc. in
theoretical solid state Physics involving the development of
pseudo-potential techniques for calculation of resistively
electrical conductivity and thermodynamic properties of liquid
metals and alloys. This type of work had its valuable contribution
in projecting the physical properties of naval materials (like
binary alloys).
-
The other research
area in theoretical solid state physics under Prof. K. K. P.
Srivastava constitutes the study of magnetic interaction,
Magnetic-relaxation and nano-particle magnetism, etc. Prof.
Srivastava has developed novel theories for (i) the spin lattice
relaxation in magnetic ion-pairs 9 diners. (ii) the vibronic
coupling in paramagnetic systems, (iii) the super paramagnetic
relaxation 9 magnetism in nano-particles.
EXPERIMENTAL AREA :
-
The experimental
research in Condensed Matter Physics/ Materials Science has been
started under the able leadership of Prof. R. Sati. This group has
been active in the area of ceramic ferroelectries and high
temperature superconductors. The main workers in the team now is
Prof. S.N. Choudhary and Dr. Kamala Prasad and they are well trained
from the Ferroelectrics laboratory of I.I.T., Kharagpur. They are
having active research collaboration with I.I.T. Kharagpur aand BOSE
Institute, Kolkata.
-
Recently, under the
DST project (ongoing) work for modified lead-based neonates have
been fabricated with general formula Pb (Mgl-Nb2 JO3 for x = 1/3 and
1/4.
