ABOUT INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS (IOPB)

Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar is an autonomous research institution within the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India. The Institute was established in 1972 by the Government of Odisha and continues to receive financial assistance from DAE and Govt. of Odisha. The Institute has a vibrant research Programme in the fields of theoretical and experimental condensed matter physics, theoretical high energy physics and string theory, theoretical nuclear physics, ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions and cosmology, quantum information and experimental high energy nuclear physics. The accelerator facilities include a 3MV Pelletron accelerator and a low-energy implanter. These are being used for studies in low energy nuclear physics, ion beam interactions, surface modification and analysis, trace elemental analysis, materials characterization, and radiocarbon dating studies. One of the important areas in the Institute is in the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in general and surface and interface studies in particular. The Institute has several advanced facilities for sample preparation and for the study of various physical and chemical properties of nanostructures and bulk condensed matter systems. The Institute is actively involved in the International Collaborations with CERN (Switzerland), BNL (USA), ANL (USA), GSI (Germany), and other laboratories abroad. The Institute is also participating in various research activities related to India-based Neutrino observatory. The Institute offers Ph.D. Programme in Physics. Selected students are required to successfully complete one-year course work at the Institute. The selection for the doctoral Programme is through the Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST). Candidates who have high CSIR-UGC NET or GATE scores are also eligible for doctoral Programme.
