Assam University - Department of Physics

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

Established : July 1996

Research & Development Activities : The department has two general laboratories for first and second semester students involving experiments on electronics, microprocessors, elementary solid state physics, optics, spectroscopy and nuclear physics.

The department has a laboratory on Advanced Solid State Physics for the students of the 4^th Semester. Research is being done in Astrophysics which has been introduced from this year. Research on electronics and solid state devices, research related to distortion induced IR and Raman activity and related aspects of vibrational dynamics of molecular units in crystals during structural phase transitions (SPT), etc. are being done in the department.
