Condensed Matter

Condensed-matter physics is the study of substances in their solid state. This includes the investigation of both crystalline solids in which the atoms are positioned on a repeating three-dimensional lattice, such as diamond, and amorphous materials in which atomic position is more irregular, like in glass.

Condensed matter physics is the study of the immense variety of solids and liquids provided by nature or made by humans. Metals, magnets, ceramics, semiconductors, foams, membranes, superfluids, superconductors, granular systems, polymers, complex liquids, planetary interiors, and graphene are examples of the sorts of things we work on.

Advances in Condensed Matter Physics is a peer-reviewed open access journal that publishes state-of-the-art reviews and original research papers in all areas of condensed matter physics.

The goal of this program is to study property sensitive structural defects in technologically-important materials such as superconductors, magnets, and other functional materials at nanoscale.

Even when it lacks technological applications, the basic science of materials can be made appealing to nonspecialists.

Condensed Matter Physics information and news.

Condensed matter physics is a branch of physics that deals with the physical properties of condensed phases of matter. Condensed matter physicists seek to understand the behavior of these phases by using physical laws. In particular, these include the laws of quantum mechanics, electromagnetism and statistical mechanics.
