Experimental Condensed Matter Physics

Division of Materials Sciences and Engineering





The portfolio consists of a broad-based experimental program in condensed matter and materials physics research emphasizing electronic structure, surfaces/interfaces, and new materials.  It includes the development and exploitation of advanced experimental techniques and methodology.  The objective is to provide the understanding of the physical phenomena and processes underlying the properties and behavior of advanced materials.  The portfolio includes specific research thrusts in magnetism, semiconductors, superconductivity, materials synthesis and crystal growth, and photoemission spectroscopy.  The portfolio addresses well-recognized scientific needs, including understanding magnetism and superconductivity; the control of electrons and photons in solids; understanding materials at reduced dimensionality, including the nanoscale; the physical properties of large, interacting systems; and the properties of materials under extreme conditions.
