About the course

We have five main research themes for MPhil students.

Condensed matter and nanoscale physics

Research focus:

Electronic, optical, structural and magnetic properties of novel solid-state materials. In particular, novel semi-conductor structures and nanostructured materials such as nanocrystals and nanowires. Theoretical studies use quantum mechanical approaches and involve massively parallel supercomputing.

Our development of new approaches to quantum modelling is changing the size and complexity of systems that can be modelled. Experimental work takes place at synchrotron facilities in Europe and America. Related work takes place with colleagues in the Emerging Technology and Materials (ETM) Group in the School of Engineering.
