SUMMARY:Understanding the Nuclear Aspects of the Big Bang
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Physics is organising a Departmental Research Seminar on “Nuclear Processes during the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis” on February 05\, 2025. The seminar will be delivered by renowned academician Dr Martin Schaefer\, Department of Theoretical Physics\, Nuclear Physics Institute\, Czech Academy of Sciences. \nTune in to hear from the expert on the phenomenon of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. \nAbstract \nIt is believed that at the early stage of the Universe\, roughly 10 seconds after the Big Bang\, the temperature dropped sufficiently to allow the first atomic nuclei to form. Subsequent nuclear reactions produced stable helium and lithium isotopes and negligible traces of heavier elements. This process is known as the primordial nucleosynthesis of light elements or Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). At the end of BBN\, the specific primordial abundances left an observable imprint in the current Universe. This echo nowadays serves to test the Hot Big Bang theory and the Standard Model of particle physics. An accurate description of BBN nuclear reactions is crucial in studying primordial nucleosynthesis. Nowadays\, reaction dynamics can be calculated by applying highly sophisticated ab initio theoretical methods. In my contribution\, I will discuss how a systematic approach to describing nuclear interactions and ab initio methods might contribute to revealing mysteries about this early stage of the Universe.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar on Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Physics is organising a Research Seminar on “Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling and Nobel Prize in Physics – 2025” by Dr Krishna Prasad Maity\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Physics\, SRM University-AP. \nAbstract \nQuantum tunneling\, proposed by Erwin Schrödinger in 1926\, is a unique quantum phenomenon with no classical equivalent. It has been observed in microscopic systems like alpha decay and scanning tunneling microscopy but remained unverified at the macroscopic scale for decades. \nThis year’s Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke\, Michel H Devoret\, and John M Martinis from the University of California for observing macroscopic quantum tunneling in a superconducting tunnel junction\, known as the Josephson junction. Their experiments measured the voltage across the junction\, corresponding to the quantum phase difference between two superconductors\, and revealed that the particles occupy discrete\, quantized energy levels. This pioneering work laid the foundation for qubits—the basic units of future quantum computers. In this talk\, I will discuss their discovery and its significance for the future of quantum technology. \nJoin for an interactive and insightful session!

SUMMARY:Seminar on Probing Higgs Boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Physics is organising a research seminar on the topic “Probing Higgs Boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)” at 03.00 PM\, January 07\, 2026. The seminar will be delivered by Dr Gouranga Kole\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, National Taiwan\, University and CERN\, Geneva\, Switzerland. \nAbstract \nRecent results on measurements related to the Higgs boson using proton–proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC will be presented. The seminar will begin with an overview of the object reconstruction techniques employed in the CMS experiment\, providing essential context for the subsequent analyses. The main focus will be on Higgs boson decays into a top quark and a light quark within the framework of the two-Higgs-doublet model. In particular\, the signal strengths and the corresponding upper limits on the production cross sections will be discussed\, offering insights into Higgs–fermion interactions and possible signs of physics beyond the Standard Model.

SUMMARY:10th Eminent Guest Lecture by Prof. Adisak Boonchun
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Dean-Research and Department of Physics\, SRM University-AP are jointly organising the 10th edition of the Eminent Guest Lecture Series on June 16\, 2026. The university welcomes Prof. Adisak Boonchun\, Associate Professor\, Department of Physics\, Faculty of Science\, Kasetsart University\, Bangkok\, Thailand\, to deliver a lecture on “Machine Learning Methods in Materials Simulation”. \nAbstract \nIn computational materials science\, we always face a big problem: choosing between accuracy and speed. Density Functional Theory (DFT) is very accurate for studying atoms\, but it requires too much computer power. Because of this\, standard DFT can only simulate small systems with a few hundred atoms for a very short time. This makes it very difficult to study real-world properties like heat transport\, defects\, or phase changes. \nThis lecture introduces how machine learning (ML) is breaking this limit. Today\, we demonstrate the use of Machine Learning Force Fields (MLFF). Instead of solving complex systems\, an on-the-fly MLFF model can learn the relationship between atomic structures and energy from a small set of DFT data. This allows us to run simulations with DFT-level accuracy but at the speed of simple classical models. \nAs a real example\, this talk will show how we use ML methods to calculate the lattice thermal conductivity of semiconductors. We will discuss how to train the model efficiently to simulate heat transport in large systems\, which is impossible with standard DFT alone. Finally\, we will talk about the current challenges of AI in physics and look at the future of automated materials simulation.

SUMMARY:11th Eminent Guest Lecture by Prof. Yeoh Keat Hoe
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Dean-Research and the Department of Physics are jointly organising the 11th Eminent Guest Lecture on the topic “Transition Metal-Doped 2D GaN with improved catalytic performance for lithium–sulfur batteries: Insights from a first-principles study” on June 18\, 2026. Prof. Yeoh Keat Hoe\, Associate Professor\, Jeffrey Sachs Center on Sustainable Development\, Sunway University\, Malaysia\, will deliver the session. \nAbstract \nLithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries are regarded as one of the most promising next-generation energy storage technologies due to their exceptionally high theoretical energy density. However\, their commercial deployment remains hindered by the polysulfide shuttle effect and the sluggish kinetics of the sulfur reduction reaction (SRR)\, which involves a complex 16-electron conversion pathway. Recent experimental studies have demonstrated that coating sulfur cathodes with GaN nanosheets effectively suppresses polysulfide shuttling and improves cycling stability compared with conventional Li–S batteries. The polar nature of GaN promotes strong interactions with lithium polysulfides (LiPSs)\, while the relatively low atomic masses of Ga and N help preserve the high energy density of the system. Motivated by these findings\, we employed first-principles density functional theory calculations to systematically screen transition-metal (TM) single-atom dopants on two-dimensional (2D) GaN for enhanced SRR electrocatalysis. Our results reveal that the key liquid-to-solid conversion step\, Li₂S₄ → Li₂S\, exhibits a linear correlation with the SRR overpotential\, described by Based on the resulting volcano relationship\, Pd@GaN and Cu@GaN emerge as the most promising catalysts\, each exhibiting an overpotential of 0.43 V. Both single-atom catalysts remain thermally stable on the 2D GaN substrate and display strong adsorption toward high-order lithium polysulfides (Li₂Sₙ\, n = 4\, 6\, and 8)\, with binding energies ranging from −1.81 to −2.99 eV\, indicating excellent capability for suppressing the shuttle effect. These findings provide fundamental insights into the SRR mechanism on TM-doped 2D GaN and offer valuable design principles for developing high-performance single-atom catalysts for advanced Li–S batteries.
