Physics is one of those departments with which North Bengal University started its journey in the year 1962. At present there are nine faculty members and ten non-teaching employees in the department. The department has active research groups in the field of (a) Liquid Crystal, (b) Relativity, Cosmology, and Astrophysics, (c) High-energy Heavy-ion Interaction and Cosmic-ray Physics, and (d) Solid-state devices. Several research projects sponsored by the DST, DAE, UGC, and Tea Research Board are running in the department. In the year 2003 the department received a financial support under the FIST programme from the DST, Govt. of India. The department offers both M.Sc. and Ph.D. courses. A semester system is followed in the M.Sc. level, with three different areas of specialization namely, Condensed Matter Physics, Electronics and Nuclear and Particle Physics, out of which a student can choose one. The annual intake capacity in M.Sc. is 40 students. In the Ph.D. programme of the department right now 25 research students are enrolled under the supervision of different faculty members. Almost all faculty members are involved in intra and inter-university national and international collaborations of scientific research. The department houses one IUCAA Resource Centre, a Data Centre for Observational Astronomy, six teaching laboratories, several research laboratories and one departmental library. From time to time the department organizes Seminars, Symposia, Conferences, Schools, Refresher Courses, and Outreach Programs.

    Relativistic compact stellar model describing anisotropic stars
    (University of North Bengal, 2021-02) Baskey, Lipi; Das, Shyam
    In this paper, we have derived a class of analytical solutions of Einstein field equations for a spherically symmetric anisotropic matter distribution. By choosing one of the metric potentials grr to be Krori-Barua metric type and a specific choice of anisotropy we obtain the other metric function. The interior solutions thus obtained has been utilized to construct a potentially stable model that could describe compact stellar objects. The exterior vacuum region has been assigned with the Schwarzschild spacetime metric. Across the boundary of the compact star where the radial pressure drops to zero, the interior metric has been matched smoothly with the exterior metric to fix the model parameters associated with the solutions. All the regularity conditions, energy conditions and all other physical requirements demanded for a realistic compact system has been shown to satisfy graphically with this model corresponding to the pulsars 4U1820 - 30 (Mass= l.58M0 and radius= 9.1 km) [1] and Gen X - 3 (Mass= l.49M0 and radius= 10.136 km)[2]. The stability of the model is also discussed using some of the known stability criterion namely TOV equation, adiabatic index, Buchdahl condition and Herrera's cracking concept etc. The wide applicability of our developed model has been justified with the numerical values of current observational data set from various other known compact stars to a high degree of accuracy.
