NANOMATERIALS RESEARCH LABORATORIES
Along with regular UG laboratories, Physics department has two research laboratories, totally dedicated to research work in nanomaterial synthesis, characterisation and applications. These laboratories have been set up from grants to the tune of Rs. 7,OO,OOO/- awarded by UGC towards two minor research projects. The research labs are equipped with a number of high precision instruments necessary for synthesis and characterization of nonmaterial. |

Lab 1: NANOMATERIALS RESEARCH LABORATORY
This lab set up on the 1st floor of laboratory building has the following facilities:
- AC facilities to maintain constant ambient temperature and dust free atmosphere.
- Ultrasonic cleaner –,u/s frequency: 33 ± 3 khz.
- Spin Coater with Digital speed meter & timer, Max. Speed:16000 RPM.
- Magnetic stirrer with hot plate with digital speed indicator.
- Heavy duty plumbing facilities to dispose chemical effluents.
Lab 2. NANO RESEARCH LABORATORY
This laboratory is housed on the 2nd floor of laboratory building equipped with some high end instruments like
- Electronic microbalance: this can weigh materials precisely to the order of micrograms.
- Muffle furnace.
- Conductivity measurement apparatus at different temperatures.
- pH meter.
- Heater with magnetic stirrer.
Galileo Astronomy Club:
A Galileo Astronomy Club is established in the Physics department. College students, staff, and some of the SKE society's management members also have joined this club. The Galileo club has two astronomical telescopes- one is refracting with equatorial mount and the other is reflecting with Dobsonian mount. Through Galileo club we organise star gazing sessions every fortnight and also on special occasions such as lunar eclipse, solar eclipse, a night out to see meteor shower..etc.
Study tours to research centres and universities are a regular annual feature of the department.
