PHYSICS PHD INTERVIEW QUESTIONS


 

                                     IIT KGP INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

 

They asked me, what you studied in last night, and i told them Condensed matter physics. So they asked all questions from condensed matter physics.

Ø  What are different experiments you have done in your condensed matter lab?

Ø  Explain about Hall method, why we use it and what are   benefits.

Ø  Draw schematic diagram of hall expt. Derive Expression for Hall voltage.

Ø  What is the case for holes explain?

Ø  What is mobility, write expression and state which factor affects the mobility of carrier.

Ø  What happens to charge carrier when we apply only electric field?

Ø  What is drift   velocity, why it is named so?

Ø  Why resistance appears in a crystal, what are the factors affecting it, if we remove all the imperfections from solid then how resistance will arise?

Ø  Explain the origin of band gap.

Ø  How the energy level  splited when combine more number of atom explain?

Ø  Draw the energy level of H2 molecule, write the Hamiltonian of the system, write the wave function for electron?

Ø  What is graded and ungraded wave function?

Ø  Draw the extended zone band diagram and reduced zone band diagram of solid.

Ø  Why we need reduced zone band diagram?

Ø  Draw E-K diagram of a conductor show band overlapping.

                       



 IIT PATNA

They asked me to choose the subjects for discussion, i choose Quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics.

    QUANTUM MECHANICS

Ø  What do you understand about symmetry of a system and its conservation ?

Ø  Can you explain concept of negative time, how it satisfy schrodinger equation?

Ø  What happen to a quantum system when it is perturbed by application of magnetic field?

Ø  How can you represent a charge particle in quantum mechanics?

Ø  What is difference in energy spectrum of hydrogen and sodium atom?

Ø  Why  2s and 2p energy level of sodium atom is not degenerate as in case of hydrogen atom?

Ø  Why certain specific transtion is not allowed in atom?

Ø  What is the origin of selection rules?

CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS

Ø  Why we go for reciprocal lattice, explain its physical significance?

Ø  When a metal and semiconductor form a junction , how the properties of system varies explain, what is its application in modern technology?

Ø  State Motts theory?

Ø  What are heavy fermionic system? Do you think metal is a heavy fermionic  system, yes/no, give reason?

Ø  What you think about zero restivity of superconductor , it is pratically possible or it is the inabily of instrument to measure such ?

              




                                             IIT BHUBANSWAR

Ø  How you can you measure the resistivity of a unknown material?

Ø  Why we use four probe method instead of two probe method?

Ø  What is brillouin zone draw it and explain its physical significance?

Ø  Write the expression for semiconductor when we applied electric field?

Ø  What is diffusion current ? state Einstein law of diffusion?

Ø  How you can distinguish between direct and indirect band gap ?

Ø  Calculate the density of state for semiconductor?

Ø  How the properties of semiconductor change when go to Nano scale?

Ø  Why we use reciprocal lattice? Can you see reciprocal lattice physically ?

  10. During the last several years the career of the physical and occupational therapy has become quite popular and highly promising. The physical and occupational therapy degree has recently received a significant amount of attention of young people. The physical and occupational therapy has been made a quickly developing branch of the healthcare industry, which is the fastest expanding field in the United States of America. Physical and occupational therapy has been honored with so much of people's attention among the other branches of the healthcare industry due to several major reasons. Positive Physics
