Consultancy is available in Optical Instrumentation, FTIR spectroscopy and Dielectric Properties of cables, Battery Technology, and related materials.
Major Research Equipment
Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), FTIR, XRD, US Flaw Detector, EC NDT, Storage Oscilloscopes, Lock-in Amplifier, Colorimeter, Vacuum Coating Units, Digital Electrometers etc. The Department proposes more state-of the -art equipment like source meter etc. Very recently, the department has acquired a Cryogenic system which can provide low temperature up to 50K. The system is useful for research in the field of superconductivity and low - temperature physical properties of materials
Scanning Electro Microscope (SEM) : A major research facility under the TEQIP project has been added to the department.
