Genesis
The department of Physics was started in the year 1985. In a short span of time, the Department of Physics has established as Centre of Excellence in research. Since its inception, the Department has strong commitment towards teaching programme at the postgraduate level (M.Sc.) and research programmes at M.Phil. and Ph.D. levels. The department has an excellent library with collection of text books and recent updation in reference materials, sophisticated characterization equipment and NET lab facilities. Thrust area research programmes are being pursued intensively in the Department of Physics, which includes crystal growth of nonlinear, ferroelectric and semiconducting materials, unidirectional growth of organic and inorganic crystals, organic conducting polymers for rechargeable batteries, electrodes for Lithium, Sodium and Sulfur batteries, supercapacitors, Biodiesel synthesis, electrodes for Fuel cells, oxide and semiconductor thin films for smart materials and solar cells, layered compound semiconductors for photo electrochemical solar cells, and MEMS. Many prototype devices have been designed and fabricated from the materials developed in this department.
During the span of 39 years, the Department has published more than 1570 research articles in internationally reputed scientific journals and 1 D.Sc., 140 Ph.D Scholars, 342 M.Phil and 1117 M.Sc., students have graduated. It has organized several international and national meetings in different areas of Physics. Government funding agencies such as DAE, DST, UGC, CSIR, DRDO, AICTE, BRNS etc. have sponsored research projects to the Department and to the faculty members. The faculty of the Department have visited up on special invitations and collaborated with several highly reputed national and international institutions.
Distinguished awards and recognitions at the national and international levels have also been received by the department faculty members. The department is very proud to record that it has been honoured recently with a Vice-Chancellorship to one of the faculty, Prof. G. Ravi and Dr. M. Ravichandran, Secretary, Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Government of India is our Alumnus. The Department has been sponsored by national level UGC-SAP (DRS Level I, II, III), DST-FIST (Level I and II) and RUSA. So far, the department and faculty members have generated Rs.1243 lakh through various funding agencies which includes Rs.155 lakh from characterization consultancy. The faculty are actively extending their knowledge to small scale industries too. 13 patents are granted and 5 patents are filed by the faculty. A new method of crystal growth (SR Method) has been invented and it has been well recognized at national and international level by publishing 220 research articles utilizing this method from different institutions and about Rs.3.0 crore has been sanctioned through MRPs by the Government of India to several PIs of different institutions. The total Scopus citation of the department is 29052 with h-index of 73, and the Web of Science citation is 26862 with h-index of 68.
