The 28th edition of the national conference “Condensed Matter Days 2020" (CMDAYS 20) will be organised in online mode jointly by the Department of Physics and Institute Innovation Cell, National Institute of Technology Silchar, Assam, India . Condensed Matter Physics, with its truly interdisciplinary characters enjoys its technological implications both in fundamental and applied research. "Condensed Matter Days" aims to provide a suitable platform for scientists, academicians and young researchers to present their works on chosen topics of technological relevance. The Conference is expected to result in sustained collaborations through sharing of ideas and techniques of mutual interest.
National Institute of Technology Silchar, Assam is
recognised as one of the top educational and
research institute in India. NIT Silchar is continuously
ranked within the top-100 institutes in India by NlRF,
MHRD, Govt. of India. In 2020, Times Higher Education Ranking recognised the NIT Silchar as one of the
top-1000 institutes in the world. NIT Silchar is located in the southern part of Assam. The institute was
established in the year 1967 and in 2002 it was
upgraded to the status of 'National Institute of Technology' and was declared as an 'Institute of National
Importance' in 2007.
NIT Silchar is a fully residential campus sprawling
over an area of 625 acres of land surrounded by
scenic tea gardens and lakes. NIT Silchar is one of the

energy.
The institute offers UG, PG and PhD programmes in
various disciplines of Science and Technology. Institute promotes start-ups, innovation, with thrust on
national sustainable goals.
Department of Physics offers MSc. Physics and PhD
in research areas: Experimental condensed matter
physics, Theoretical condensed matter physics, High
energy physics, etc. The department has sophisticated and modern laboratory for theoretical and experimental research.
The CMDAYS20 aims to give the researchers an opportunity to present (Oral presentation) their work related to the topics mentioned in the scope of the conference. The interested participants need to send the extended abstract of their work. If the work is already published, the details should be mentioned in the document. After initial scrutiny, the authors will be intimated regarding the selection. The authors of the selected work need to register for the conference to allot slot in the conference for presentation.
Authors who are presenting their unpublished research work can opt for publishing it either as a proceeding (American Institute of Physics) or as a book chapter in Scopus-indexed book (Springer). Authors will get another one month of time after the conference to submit the full manuscript. The manuscript of the work will be further reviewed before publishing.
The format and instruction for authors are attached
along with the announcement. Authors are requested to submit their one page abstract through email
attachment (MS word) to: cmdays2020@nits.ac.in. Acceptance of the
abstract will be notifed through email.
There will be a special session on "Hydrogen production, storage, sensing and fuel cells”.
Participants intending to send papers in this category should
mention "Abstract for special session" in the subject
heading while sending their abstracts.
The conference aims to cover both theoretical and experimental studies on condensed matter covering the following broad areas:
Participants are having an opportunity to publish their unpublished work in either:
