The department is involved in material science in synthesis of nano-structured materials at various temperatures and at different concentrations of the solvent to alter particle sizes and morphology.  The research utilizes sputtering machine,  X-ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic force microscope (AFM), ultra-violet-visible spectroscopy (UV-visible spectroscopy), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), High resolution transmitting electron microscopy (HRTEM) and gas sensing equipment.

The department is also involved in the defect studies using positron annihilation techniques (PAT). We are collaborating with national and international research institutions.

Nuclear physics provides opportunities to do research on nuclear structure , gamma spectroscopy and nuclear reactions . We collaborate with national and international research institutions.

As a department we also involved in magnetism and magnetic materials. The focus is on materials with applications in magnetic hyporthemia.  We use different techniques to characterize samples such as XRD, FTIR, TEM, SEM, Mossbauer spectroscopy, electron spin resonance and magnetization measurements.

As a department we are participating in  ATLAS experiment at CERN under SA-CERN collaboration
