Facilities

B.Sc. (Hons) Physics Laboratory

The B.Sc. (Hons) Physics Laboratory is an essential part of the undergraduate curriculum, aimed at reinforcing theoretical knowledge through hands-on experiments. It helps students understand physical principles, practice measurement techniques, and develop skills in handling scientific instruments. The lab spans three years. In the first year, students conduct basic mechanics and material property experiments using tools such as vernier calipers, screw gauges, and pendulums. The second year focuses on electricity, magnetism, and optics, involving instruments such as potentiometers, galvanometers, and optical benches. In the third year, students explore modern physics and electronics through experiments on semiconductors, photoelectric effect, transistors, and logic gates using CROs and other advanced equipment. Students maintain a lab record, attend weekly sessions, and are assessed through viva and practical exams. Overall, the lab experience builds scientific understanding, analytical skills, and confidence in experimental physics.

Postgraduate (PG) Physics Laboratory

The Postgraduate (PG) Physics Laboratory is designed to provide in-depth experimental training aligned with advanced topics in physics. It aims to enhance students' analytical abilities, research skills, and proficiency in handling sophisticated instruments. The lab includes specialized experiments in areas such as Solid State Physics, Nuclear Physics, Spectroscopy, Quantum Mechanics, Advanced Electronics, and Nanoscience. Students work with high-end equipment like X-ray diffractometers (XRD), Klystron, Gun Diode Hall effect setups, four-probe systems, GM counters, optical interferometers, digital storage oscilloscopes (DSO), and semiconductor characterization kits. The PG lab encourages critical thinking, error estimation, and result interpretation, preparing students for research, teaching, and technical careers. Regular assessments include viva-voce, project presentations, and final practical exams, ensuring academic rigor and skill development.

Research Physics Laboratory

The Research Physics Laboratory is designed for advanced experimental studies in material science, luminescence, and spectroscopy. It includes essential equipment such as an electrolyte setup for synthesizing nanomaterials and doped phosphors, a high-precision digital weighing machine for accurate chemical measurements, and a photospectrometer (UV-Vis and fluorescence) for analyzing optical properties like absorbance and emission spectra. A key feature of the lab is the mechanoluminescence (ML) experimental setup, which detects light emitted by materials under mechanical stress, used in smart material and sensor research. This lab supports precise material characterization and is vital for research in luminescent and functional materials.
