ANNUAL REPORT OF PHYSICS DEPARTMENT (PERIOD: 1 APRIL 2012 31 MARCH 2013)

1. INTRODUCTION Physics department began its journey in 1995. Since then the department endeavoured to impart quality education to the B.Tech, MSc and the PhD students of the department, the allied departments and first year BTech / BDes students of the institute. In order to achieve the goal of sublime learning, the teaching and research laboratories are being continuously upgraded with stateofthe art equipment and other infrastructural facilities. In research and development, the department continues to excel with increase in contribution towards international research publications, sponsored research activities, participating and conducting national/international workshops, conferences, short term courses, taking part in conducting and mentoring Physics Olympiad etc. The department is working towards the goal of recognition of one of the centers of excellence in learning with cutting edge research and development activities in various frontline areas of Physics and allied interdisciplinary subject areas. 2. ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES B.Tech program: The department offers core, science elective and open elective courses in physics for the B.Tech. program of the institute. The theory courses PH101 and PH102, and a laboratory course PH110 are offered as core physics courses to 1st year B.Tech students. The core courses are designed to offer a holistic knowledge of physics and to train the students in experimental techniques with modern equipment. Since the year 2006, a four year B.Tech Engg. Physics Program has been added to train bright students as engineers along with essential knowledge on physics and applied physics. The department has upgraded under graduate and post graduate laboratories from time to time to meet the demand of increase in number of student intake and by introducing new experiments. The course structure and syllabi of BTech EP programme was revised in the reported academic year by introducing an option of choosing a minor programme from other engineering disciplines offered in the institute. In addition to that, the department has introduced a minor programme in BTechEP for the benefit of students from other engineering disciplines. The BTech EP minor programme consists of five courses namely Quantum Physics, Laser Physics and Technology, Computational Physics, Engineering Optics and, Materials Science and Engineering. 80 % of the passing out students from the third batch of BTechEP have got industrial placement and in addition to that some of them got admission in prestigious universities in US/Europe for higher studies. M.Sc program: The twoyear M.Sc. program in physics was started in July 2000. The entry to the programme since 2006 is through JAM entrance examination. This program is designed with equal emphasis on both classroom lectures and laboratory training with modern infrastructure. Several M.Sc students have cleared some of the national level qualifying exams for PhD, such as GATE, JEST, NET etc. Ph.D. program: The department has been offering Ph.D. program in physics, since August 1996 both in experimental as well as theoretical areas. The department is concentrating on the following thrust areas; condensed matter physics (Experimental and Theoretical), Laser and Photonics (experimental and theoretical), Higher Energy Physics (Experimental and Theoretical) and Theoretical Physics. Students in this program are trained through rigorous course work covering basic as well as advanced level courses before starting their research work. The total PhD strength of the department is 96. 3. STUDENT INTAKE a) B.Tech Engg. Physics 40 b) MSc (Physics) 38 c) Ph.D. 28 4.

The first two facilities were ordered and successfully installed in department physics and available for the general user to characterize their sample, while the budget for third facility is received very recently now and procurement of facilities are in progress. Laser and Optics Fiber Optics and Photonics The research areas covered under fiber optics and photonics are Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance based Sensors, nanophotonics, fiber Bragg gratings, photonic crystal fiber and their applications, fiber optic sensors with applications that spans from structural health monitoring, environmental engineering to biomedical science. Major research objectives realized in aforesaid period are: All optical fiber sensor based on fiber Bragg grating inscripted onto a fiber nano-wire has been developed for simultaneously sensing multi-parameters that includes strain, temperature and relative humidity. It is equipped with an extremely high (more than 10 times) strain sensitivity as compared to the best sensitivity reported in the literature till date is realized with a novel scheme employed for the development of this sensor. Optical Fiber Sensors for structural health monitoring have been developed to sense the tilt angle and its direction from horizontal for a given structure (bridges, under water canal, sky-rising buildings etc.) using four fiber Bragg grating with linear dynamic range and manifold enhanced sensitivity. Surface Plasmon resonance/Localized Surface Plasmon resonance based Optical Fiber Sensor have been developed for environmental applications such as to measure the refractive index and relative humidity is developed covering entire dynamic range (~5 to ~99%) with linear response and higher sensitivity. Nanoparticle doped optical fiber is developed and fabricated in-house for sensing applications. Optical fiber nanowire sensor exploiting Localized Surface Plasmon resonance have been developed for environmental applications such as to measure relative humidity is developed covering widest possible dynamic range with linear response and higher sensitivity. Optical fiber nanowire sensors are also exploited/are being exploited for strain/temperature/torsion sensing.

Computer generated holography and optical microscopy Ongoing research works in the area of computer generated holography arehigh speed wave front sensing, interferometry, generation and study of vortex beams, hologram based beam deflection, etc. There has also been an optical sectioning microscope that incorporates binary hologram based beam scanning. At present

work is in progress towards the development of a confocal microscope that will facilitate dynamic control over the excitation beam profile.

High Energy Physics Research activities of the High Energy Physics Group include particle physics phenomenology, its cosmological connection and experimental high energy physics. Phenomenology of Particle Physics beyond the Standard Model emphasizes on aspects of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and Higgs Mechanism and CP violation, currently focusing on models like the Little Higgs Model and Models within the Extradimensional scenarios. Apart from such specific models, generic analyses in a model independent way to understand dynamics beyond the scope of Standard Model in cases with strongly interacting gauge bosons, and additional gauge bosons like the Zprime are also being actively pursued. Throughout the last decade, we observe empirical evidences, which demonstrate that the Standard Model of elementary particle physics is incomplete, e.g. nonbaryonic dark matter, dark energy, neutrino mass, baryon asymmetry, nearly scale invariant density perturbations. Many of these are possible messengers from early universe. Understanding of such early stages of the universe requires the development of particle physics, while the universe may be regarded as a testing ground of particle physics at high energies beyond the reach of accelerators. We are involved in finding mutual relationship between cosmology and particle physics based on the study of matter antimatter asymmetry, dark matter/energy, neutrinos, inflation and physics beyond the Standard Model of elementary particle physics. On Experimental High Energy Physics, we are collaborating with the Belle/Belle II and BaBar experiments for research involving Bmesons, CP violation and physics search beyond Standard Model. We are also collaborating with the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) and India m Based Neutrino Observatory (INO) group for research in Neutrino Physics.
