The Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics cluster is composed of eight faculty members and one research staff, and whose roster includes both theoretical and condensed matter physicists.
Theoretical work in this field is focused on quantum transport in nanoscale devices, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, electronic structure calculations, novel 2D materials, surfaces and interfaces, while experimental work is primarily centered on characterization of low-dimensional systems using spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR and XPS, as well as STM.
Some members have also forged collaborations with colleagues working on closely related fields such as atomic and molecular physics, photonics, and materials physics.
