The Advance Functional Materials Lab (AFML) occupies 250 ft2 in the postgraduate building and includes a two-zone high-temperature tube furnace (1200 degrees), vacuum oven (250 degrees), programmable spin coater NT6000 V1, Medico C-852 centrifuge; autoclave, and an indigenously built spray pyrolysis unit. The characterization equipment includes ultra-sensitive digital source meter, Keithley KickStart software for automated I-V characterization, Holmarc XYZ tilt arm manipulator and a high-resolution CCS.
In addition to research, the department has been offering the BSc Physics degree-program since inception, and the MSc Physics program since 1991. The three undergraduate laboratories are spread over an area of 3250 ft2, and the postgraduate laboratory is 900 ft2.
The research facilities available at the centre include a 500 ft2 Electro-Acoustics Research Laboratory (EARL) - separate from the other labs that houses the acoustic transducer testing and calibration suites, data acquisition equipment for building and room acoustics, instrumentation for acoustic impedance, reverberation, and transverse vibration characterization.
In addition, the Lab comprises equipment like Digital and multimedia storage oscilloscopes, programmable waveform generators, multimedia amplifiers, amplifier booster, timer-scalar-counter; audio oscillators, power supplies, function generators; effects processor, a wide range of loudspeakers and microphones, etc.
