SUNY, Albany, New York, USA and Prof. Jagdish Mohanty of IIT Kanpur and Australian National University, Canberra. In 1981, the Institute moved to its present campus near Chandrasekharpur, Bhubaneswar. It was taken over by the Department of Atomic Energy, India on 25 March 1985 and started functioning as an autonomous body.[2]

Research

IOPB library

The institute conducts research in theoretical and experimental physics.

Theoretical physics

Research areas in theoretical physics include

phase transitions, clusters and nanomaterials.[1]

Experimental physics

The Ion Beam Laboratory at IOP

The experimental physics group encompasses accelerator-based research for advanced chemical and radioisotope analysis. The ion beam laboratory (IBL) is equipped with a 3MV

tandem accelerator (NEC 9SDH-2).[3] Research at the IBL includes Rutherford back scattering, Particle-induced X-ray emission, accelerator mass spectrometry, channeling, ion implantation, surface modification and characterization, microbeam analysis and nuclear reaction studies.[citation needed
]

The 3 million volt NEC 9SDH-2 pelletron accelerator of the Accelerator Mass Spectrometry lab is a multi-disciplinary research accelerator for various physics experiments.

molecular beam epitaxy), cluster generator and nano material research facility.[citation needed
]

Education

The Institute runs regular pre-doctoral (

PhD.) programs for postgraduate students of physics. The course work is planned to emphasize doctoral research and teaching skills.[5]
