Research Centre in Physics


Research centre in Physics is established and recognised by SPPU Pune from 2004-2005. Fourteen research scholars have been awarded by Ph.D. degree from our center. So far we have published more than 100 research papers in international reputed journals of Elsevier, Indian Journal of Physics, Sensors and Transducers, Luminescence, Nanosystems, UGG care list and Scopus Journals. Presently one regular and Five associate research guides and 17 students are registered in this center. Research centre have completed Ph.D course work on Research Methodology for registered students during the year 2022. Physics research centre is a well-equipped Laboratory for organic & inorganic material Research, Instruments Available in the Laboratory such as Muffle Furness, Static Gas Sensing System, Chemical Vapour Deposition Technique, Spray Pyrolysis Technique, Screen Printing Technique, Nanoparticles Synthesis using hydrothermal Technique, Humidity Sensing, Digital Balance, UV -Visible Spectroscopy (BSR) etc. A number of Thesis, Magazines, Periodicals, and Reputed Journals are readily available in this Centre.

Recently the registered students have been working on the following topic.

  • Synthesis of metal, Rare earth metal and metal oxides semiconductor nanoparticles by Chemical Route method. (Co-precipitation, hydrothermal, electrochemical deposition and solution combustion methods etc.)
  • Thin film deposition by Physical Vapour Deposition.
  • Thick films preparation by Screen Printing Technique.
  • Thin film deposition by Spray Pyrolysis technique (Holmark).
  • Characterization of Thin and Thick films: Electrical, Structural, Optical, Magnetic and gas sensing properties of film samples.
  • Electro deposition Techniques
  • Application: Gas and Humidity sensors, Biomedical, Solar cell (chalcogenide Material) , Capacitor etc.
