Welcome to SSPL
The Solid State Physics Laboratory (SSPL) of Department of Physical Sciences (DPS), IISER Kolkata has a goal to carryout research on solid state materials science with state-of-art facilities. The broad areas of research are namely laboratory and synchrotron based high-resolution angle-resolved and angle-integrated photoemission spectroscopy of strongly correlated systems, synthesis of new materials and understanding its crystal structure, magnetic & electronic properties, synthesis of novel doped nano-materials and understanding its optical, magnetic, and electronic properties. SSPL is also involved in theoretical calculations / research for understanding the above experimental results. Theoretical calculations like Full-potential LAPW and ab-initio pseudopotential band structure calculations are carried out with the high-performance cluster and workstation available in institute.
