LABORATORY
Field
Emission Laboratory at the Department
of Physics, has a history as old as 25 years. Research in field
emission started in the first phase of expansion of the department, when
it focussed its research on the important areas in experimental Physics
and Materials Science. It is hard to believe at present, the lab
was established when the basic requirements were hardly available.
However, with the relentless efforts of Prof.
P. L. Kanitkar, along with his students
D S Joag and
C V Dharmadhikari, the first field emission pattern was observed in
the year 1975. The in-house facilities were developed from scratch
under difficult situations. From there, the laboratory improved by the
development of Field Ion Microscope and a Time
of flight Atom Probe. Today this Laboratory is led by Prof.
D S Joag and stands unique in the country with all field emission techniques
under one roof. Over the past 20 years, many students have completed their
Ph D in Field Emission Laboratory. Dr.
C V Dharmadhikari who was a part of the intial developments of this
lab later indegenuously built
Scanning Tunneling Microscope at the Department of Physics which
is again a unique feature in this Department.
