Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar is an autonomous 'grant-in-aid' research institution of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India. The Institute was established in 1972 by the Government of Orissa, under the founding director Dr. Trilochan Pradhan, when the Institute started theoretical research programmes in the various branches of physics. In 1981 the Institute moved to its present campus near Chandrasekharpur, Bhubaneswar. The Institute was taken over by the DAE, India on March 25, 1985 and started functioning as an autonomous body.
The institute conducts research both in theoretical and experimental physics. Research areas in theoretical physics include condensed matter, nuclear and high energy physics. 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). The experimental facilities available in the ion beam laboratory include an accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS, http://www.iopb.res.in/~ams) for radiocarbon dating, micro-beam facility and an external beam facility. Other advanced experimental facilities include an ESCA (electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis), HRTEM (high resolution transmission electron microscope), MBE (molecular beam epitaxy), cluster generator and nano material research facility.
