Library and High Speed Internet (LAN & WLAN) Facilities

Department has visualized the need of departmental library to provide more accessible and more personalized service to students and faculty members and to establish departmental collection in subject of physics. Library has excellent collection of printed books, encyclopedias and journals, e-book and e-journals and scopus and websicence facilities.
Departmental library is well equipped with high speed LAN and WLAN internet facility, to access e-journals open access journals online.

LabVIEW based Interactive Virtual Laboratory

The computer technology and the Internet have the potential to provide a highly interactive and powerful learning environment for physics disciplines. Department has several Dual Core, i3 and i7 based desktop computers for students. LabVIEW™ software and ELVIS based dedicated interactive Virtual Laboratory (VLE) for teaching of electronics has been established.
It consists of two sections: virtual simulation and real-time measurement. The system imparts practical training toward architecture, hardware configuration and system implementation.

This LabVIEW™ facility for teaching circuits and electronics will give students the ability to move seamlessly from theory and experimentation by combining hardware that is based on industry-standard technology with Multisim circuit simulation software. With Multisim, and interactive components, 3D bread boarding, and hardware integration will give students the ability to apply theory to real-world scenarios

High resolution Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) probe has been commissioned at department for advanced material characterization at atomic level. This nanoRev 6 Scanning Tunneling Microscope is made by Quazar Technologies. The nanoREV 6.0 model is an ambient air Table-top STM and is capable to scan ultra-small area of 2mmx2mm with atomic resolution (Min resolution: 3pm). The nanoREV6 is capable to perform I-V and I-Z Spectroscopy, Topography and Local Density of State (LDOS) and Local Barrier Height (LBH) imaging can be done.

Cleanroom environment is used in manufacturing functional electronics device. A Cleanroom is a controlled level of contaminant environment i.e.; a low level of pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles, and chemical vapors per cubic meter at a specified particle size. An ISO 7 cleanroom (Class-10000) has been constructed to house MJB4-Optical stepper and Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL) for micro and nanofabrication. A clean room chemical processing facility consisting of wet chemical processing bench, photoresist film spin coater and various other processing instruments has also been constructed.

To fabricate a functional micro or nano scale electronic device, stepper or mask-aligner is required to expose a photoresist coated silicon wafer with photomask or reticle containing the micro or nano structure. The stepper is a device which passes light through the photomask or reticle, forming an image of the reticle pattern.Cleanroom environment is used in manufacturing functional electronics device. The state of art SUSS MJB4 contact aligner capable to print 0.5 mm has been installed for research in micro and nano fabrication. This stepper is also attachment of Nano Imprint Lithography for nano size feature fabrication. This contact aligner has 5 exposure modes; Soft Contact, Hard Contact, Vacuum Contact, Soft Vacuum Contact and Gap Exposure.
