Ph.D. in
Physics is a 3-year doctorate degree in Physics. Physics is a natural science
that involves the study of matter. M.Phil. degree or M.Sc. in Physics or
Material Science with a minimum aggregate score of 60% or equivalent CGPA (relaxed
to 55% or equivalent CGPA for SC/ST) is the minimum requirement of eligibility
for applying to the course.
Top
Institutes offering Ph.D. in Physics are:
*Loyola
College, Chennai
*Christ
University
*Madras
Christian College
*Fergusson
College, Pune
*Jadavpur
University, Kolkata
The course
covers the subjects of Matter Physics, High Energy Physics, Non-Linear Optics,
Quantum Optics and Laser Physics, Solid State Physics and Materials Science,
and Electronic Science. The areas of research include high TC
superconductivity, attraction, stage moves, basic marvels, glasses and
ceramics, liquid crystals, thin films, ion-solid interactions, semiconductors
and superlattices, nanostructure materials, localization, percolation,
molecular dynamics, neural networks, quantum field theory, quantum chromodynamics,
CP violation, heavy quarks, non-linear dynamics, quantum computing,
stochastic-quantization, modern quantum optics including Femto-second laser
experiments and theory, ferroelectrics, and microwave devices.
Ph.D.
in Physics: What is it About?
Typically, a
Ph.D. program in Physics includes 5 or 6 core courses, with research and
towards dissertation beginning in the second year of the course. Some programs
allow students to earn their Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Physics degree
concurrently. The course’s curriculum typically includes the following
components of study:
*Kinetics
*Solid-state
physics
*Chemical
thermodynamics
*Advanced
thermodynamics
*Nanophysics
*Applied
physics
The course is
beneficial for candidates interested in pursuing advanced study in Physics and
in specialized in a field of the discipline, such as Atomic and Condensed
Matter Physics, Laser Physics, Particle Physics, and such.
Physicists
study the basic laws of nature and for the most part, contribute to the field
through advanced research. They additionally apply their deductions, findings,
and hypotheses to different ranges, for example, correspondences, science,
construction, gadgets, geophysics, wellbeing, and science of transportation,
among others.
