As an area of research, Condensed Matter Physics represents one of the most diverse fields in physics. Of central interest is an array of fascinating phenomena, defined by the complex interplay and spatial organization of a variety of atomic or molecular constituents. Understanding and monitoring the material systems, interfaces, and nanostructures under investigation places the highest demands on the art of experimentation, as well as on theoretically informed descriptions. The knowledge gained as a result enables the development of novel properties for customized functional materials and components.
The program combines fundamental research into solid state elements, nanostructures, and new materials with applications in lasers, solar cells, super strong magnets, or biosensors. In accordance with students' interests, specialization is possible in one of three areas: applied solid state physics, the nanosciences, or soft materials.
