Graduate Studies and Research Programmes
See page 140 for general information. There are at present several major areas of study in the Department in which gradu-. ate students may specialize. These include.
Astrophysics: Stellar evolution in galactic’clusters, radial velocities and spectral analysis, galactic structure.
Biophysics: Radiation biophysics of synchronized cell cultures. Thermodynamics of intra-cellular movement.
Geophysics: Physical limnology of the Great Lakes. Laser Research: Solid state injection lasers, laser-produced plasmas.
Low Temperature Physics: Experimental studies of condensed inert gases, liquid helium, superconductivity, energy gap and Fermi surface determinations.
Microwave Research: Dielectric constant measurements. Field induced absorptions, microwave spectrometry.
Magnetic Resonance and Neutron Diffraction: Physical properties of solids, particularly ferroelectrics, are studied by these methods.
Spectroscopy: Raman and Brillouin scattering, far infra-red absorption. Physics of Lattice Defects: Layer structures, properties of vacancies and impurities.
Thin Film Physics: Epitaxial, anodic oxide, and semi-conducting films, active thin film devices.
Theoretical Physics: Theory of liquids, the elastic dielectric, electronic states in crys-
tals and molecules, colour centers, phonon dispersion curves, polymers, superconductivity, liquid helium.
Graduate Course Descriptions
