Research in the Department

The department develops an intense research and teaching activity in numerous fields in Condensed Matter Physics. This important area of ​​Physics covers the study of the physical properties of matter in its condensed phases, that is, solids and liquids. In these states of matter, the interactions between atoms or molecules, as well as quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical physics, play a relevant role, giving rise to a multitude of physical phenomena of great fundamental and technological interest.

The main research areas developed in the department are:

• Surface Physics.
• Low Temperature Physics.
• Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.
• Theory and Simulation on Condensed Matter.
• Electronic, Magnetic and Superconducting Nanostructures.
• Pysics of Complex Systems.
• Biophysics.
