History of the Department:

The Department one of the oldest in the Central College, has been in existence from 1882 when Mr. J. Cook who served as the Principal of the College was Professor of Physics. E.P. Metcalfe, student of J.J. Thomson, who was a Professor here from 1908, was appointed as Vice-Chancellor of the Mysore University in 1929. His work with B. Venkatesachar appeared in the Proceedings of Royal Society and a School of Spectroscopic Research was established. It was in what is now called as the Raman Hall in the Central College where C.V Raman gave the first detailed exposition of the Raman Effect on the 16th March 1928. A. Venkatarao Telang, head of the Department from 1937 working then in Atmospheric Electricity, collaborated with the International Polar Year Committee of 1932-33, and started the wireless section. During the war, the Posts and Telegraphs office, Government of India approached this section for the design and testing of power transmitter chokes. The work which was completed within 3 months earned great appreciation. During the time of S. Ramachandra Rao and S. B. Bondade the Department saw phenomenal growth in the student’s strength in the Honors and M.Sc. programmes. In later years research initiatives in Nuclear Physics were boosted by the efforts of N.G Puttaswamy through UGC and CSIR grants. The Department was one of the few in the country then to offer a specialization in Astrophysics after research in this area was initiated in 1990 through the efforts of B.C. Chandrashekar and M.N. Anandaram. In 1989 the Department was shifted to Jnana Bharathi Campus. As on today, The Department has active teaching and research programmes with a faculty strength of 15. ISRO has instituted the Sir M. Visveswaraya Chair in the Department and actively supports research and pedagogy in Atmospheric and Space Science. Research activities of the Department include X-ray Crystallography, NMR / ESR / NQR of solids, Astrophysics research in stellar structure and active galactic nuclei, Glass science, Nuclear and Radiation Physics, Nanophosphor materials, Radiation damage studies in semiconductors, Swift heavy ion interaction with matter, Thin films, Mössbauer spectroscopy of certain magnetic materials, Soft and Biological matter, Ion trap spectroscopy and research in Physics education The faculty has collaborations with national research institutions like IISc, ISRO, RRI, IIA, IUAC, IUCAA, IGCAR, UGC-DAE-CSR, apart from international collaborations with individual faculty.The faculty research is also supported through individual projects from UGC, BRNS-DAE. ISRO and DST. The Department has recently been awarded funding under DST-FIST (Phase-1).
