Dr. K. Porsezian, Head
(head.phy@pondiuni.edu.in)
The Department of Physics came to
existence on 01-06-1987 and facilities are
available for intensive training and research
in basic areas of Physics. The Department
has been recognized for special funding by
DST under the Fund for Improvement of
Science and Technology Infrastructure
(FIST) programme. The faculty members
have received major research project grants
for more than Rs.4.0 crores from different
funding agencies like DST, AICTE, UGC,
IFCPAR, DRDO, DAE, INSA and CSIR,
Government of India and published more than
400 papers in internationally reputed
journals. Some of the faculty members
received several national, international
awards, fellowships and membership in the
national committees and referees in many
national and international journals. The
Department conducts M.Sc. (Physics)
programme and train research scholars for
M.Phil. and Ph.D. in Physics in the following
areas:
Specialization for M.Sc. (Physics)
- Laser physics
- Condensed matter physics
- Electronics
Facilities available
- Powder X-ray diffractometer
- Impedance analayzer
- FT-IR spectrometer
- Laser based experiments
- Computing laboratory
- Ultrasonic interferometer
- Microwave bench
- Glove box
- Battery cycle tester
- Differential Scanning Calorimeter
- Susceptibility meter
- High temperature furnaces
- Spinner magnetometer
Programmes of Study
M.Sc. Physics programme is offered with three Specializations (Condensed Matter Physics/ Laser Physics/ Electronics)
M.Sc. Physics (5 year Integrated)
M.Phil. Physics (Full-time)
Ph.D. Physics (Full-time, Part-time (Internal & External))
Research / Placement Opportunities
The students of Department were placed in
leading scientific laboratories as well as in
MNCs. Our students have been successful
in the national level examinations viz. GATE
/CSIR-UGC resulting in research
placements.
Entrance Examination
The question paper will consist of objective type questions.
For P.G studies:
The objective question
paper covers all the subjects at U.G. degree
with Physics as Main and Mathematics and
Chemistry as ancillaries.
For M.Phil. and Ph.D. Courses
The objective
question paper covers all the subjects studies
under P.G. course in Physics
Infrastructure Facilities
The Department has sufficient
infrastructure to conduct M. Sc. practical
courses in routine as well as advanced level
experiments. The department is equipped
with the following facilities: Fourier
Transform Infrared Spectrometer,
Differential Scanning Calorimeter,
Impedance Analyser, Ultrasonic Pulse Echo
Interferometer, VSM (Lakeshore), UV-VIS-IR
Spectrometer (Varian), Digital Nano Volt and
Current Meters (Keithely), Advanced XRD
and Excellent Computer Labs.
