Ongoing Research

Department has produced about 193 Ph.Ds and 240 M.Phils. and about 26 scholars are registered for their Ph.D. degree. Currently, the faculty members are actively engaged in the following domains of research.

Experimental Physics

• Ion beam induced engineering and growth of materials.
• Irradiation induced modification in the properties of materials.
• Stopping power and straggling of heavy ions in polymers.
• Nano structuring of materials.
• 2D materials and Polymer electrolytes for energy harvesting and storage devices (Batteries, Supercapacitors, fuel cells, Hydrogen splitting).
• Optical filters, Sensors.
• Ion-induced fusion-fission reactions via pre-scission neutron multiplicity, fission fragment mass and angular distribution measurements.

Theoretical Physics

• Dynamics of non-equilibrium systems / nonlinear systems, Solitons, Chaos and Integrable Systems.
• Simulation of Solar-cells.
• Low Dimensional Nanoscopic Electron Systems.
• Heavy ion induced nuclear fusion reactions around barrier energies.
• Breakup and fusion reactions induced by weakly bound projectiles.
• Synthesis of super heavy nuclei through cold and hot fusion reactions.
• Nuclear structure near drip lines.

Several significant contributions in these fields have been made. So far about 600 research papers have been published by the faculty in the national and international journals of repute.
