PHYSICS

1. Message from HoD (In brief): Physics is one of the prime subjects of education for

understanding the natural phenomena what we observed in inner and outer world. The study

of physics must be correlated with the observation through human sense organ and related

instrumental capabilities. Any law of physics could not discard the happening in earth and

its surrounding world. In recent days, due to the advancement of scientific capabilities and

understanding most of things observable has been exhausted. We should look into the sky

and underworld for finding more knowledge which in future provided us better living with

highest aptitude of lifestyle.

2. Mission & Vision of the Departments: The department has been established in 1960 since

the inception of undergraduate and postgraduate studies. After that the department has been

advanced remarkably. A lot of good teachers and scientists were achieved from this

department. We therefore are interested to produce good teachers and scientists more in the

coming future to cope the advanced scientific world. At the same times, we are also

interested to carry advanced research both in theory and industrial aspects for developing

related knowledge and industrial output.

Academic Background: M. Sc; PhD

Research Interest: Nanomaterials, Liquid Crystals, Devices, Theory & Experiment

Ongoing Research Statement: 1. An enhancement of Cadmium oxide (CdO) based catalyst

activity was observed on modification with silver (Ag) by hydrothermal route in a short time

and at low temperature. The products were characterized by XRD, Infrared spectroscopy

(FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD confirming the formation of CdO

showed an intense diffraction peak at 32.73° with lattice plane (111). The IR spectrum shows

characteristic peaks at 607, 1387 cm−1

corresponding to Cd-O bonds. Both CdO and Ag

modified CdO (Ag-CdO) showed band gaps of 2.76 eV and 2.56 eV respectively stretching

into the red portion of the solar spectrum. On irradiation with Ultraviolet (Uv) light CdO-Ag

showed 78.02% degradation of malachite green oxalate (MG), a hazardous dye within

175 min in comparison to native CdO (75.85% in 175 min). Photoluminescence (PL) studies

demonstrated better emission intensityquenching in case of Ag-CdO which is particularly

promising for photocatalytic applications.

2. In this work, the effect of concentration of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in

the synthesis of manganese oxide (Mn2O3) nanostructures has been investigated adopting the

hydrothermal route. The products were characterized by XRD, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)

and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD confirming the formation of Mn2O3 shows

an intense diffraction peak at 36 with lattice plane (2 0 3). The IR spectra shows

characteristic peaks at 489, 612 cm-1 corresponding to O-Mn-O bonds. With the increase in

CTAB amounts from 20 mg to100 mg, the morphology changes from spherical to rod-like.

Change in morphology could presumably lead to change in properties and make Mn2O3

nanostructures ideal candidates for photocatalytic, supercapacitor, battery and fuel cell

applications.

3. We have studied the Freedericksz transition of antiferroelectric liquid crystals (PDAFLCs)

utilizing Landau-Ginzburg (LG) equation. Low frequency inphase mode and high frequency

anti-phase mode in the region of Freedericksz transition influenced by the interactions

between spin angular momentum and spin angular momentum of the accumulated charges on

smectic layers have been discussed. Dielectric characteristics have been investigated in detail

both in in-phase and anti-phase motions in the region of the Freedericksz transition in AFLCs

influenced due to spin-spin interactions. We theoretically noticed the dielectric strength

become negligibly small for in-phase motion and the dielectric strength become independent

with spin because of strong spin-spin interactions of the accumulated charges on smectic

layers in AFLCs.

Ongoing Research Statement: Despite many successes SM being unable to address the

fundamental questions like gauge hierarchy problem, neutrino oscillations, flavour problem,

strong CP problem, Dark matter related issues, Higgs physics etc., could not be considered as

the ultimate theory of fundamental interactions. Moreover, precision measurements also

indicate that SM is an incomplete theory, hence we must go beyond the realm of standard

model physics which we call beyond SM (BSM) physics. But BSM is very much model

dependent. There are various types of models like Extension of the scalar sector for example

two higgs doublet model(2HDM), supersymmetric(SUSY), Extra dimension(ED), extension

of fermionic fermion etc. But we know that it is still unknown to us that which model will be

the best one to explain all the facts. We have to be careful to choose a model and try to

established the uniqueness for that model. Accumulating all these facts, we are free to choose

any kind of New Physics model and try to explain the gaps of the theory and experiments.

We will try to explain the gaps by using SUSY, extra dimension and 2HDM or by extending

the scalar sector. There are many other ways. People are trying to explain the gaps through

non local deformation of local field theories. At that point we cannot promise to stay on only

those models but better to say that we will keep our focus on BSM. Research Collaboration
