Research

The department has theoretical and experimental research programs in the areas of new materials, nanoscience, quantum devices, biomolecular physics, organic semiconductors, and complex systems. Our goal is to investigate and understand the fundamental properties of materials in the solid state in nanostructures, or in the form of soft matter, and to predict their applications.
 
The research activity of the theoretical group covers topics such as structural, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of different materials, from oxides to semiconductors to biomolecules, and includes the development of new computational techniques and approaches for specific investigations.
 
The research activity of the experimental group includes the synthesis of a large number of new materials (semiconductors, semiconductor heterostructures, superconductors, and magnetic materials), which are characterized by various experimental techniques available in the department. Experimental research addresses the technical challenges facing the growth of these materials, as well as the understanding of their basic physical phenomena.
