Problems currently being examined include the electrical transport properties of carbon nanotube 'quantum wires', transport and magnetic properties of thin films of ferromagnets, magnetic properties of materials in non-equilibrium structures, magnetization reversal in nanometer-scale magnets, scanning electron microscopy, high-sensitivity magnetometry, and coherence effects in light-absorption in semiconductors with self-assembled quantum dots.Įdoardo Baldini, Ph.D., École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, 2017.Įxperimental condensed matter physics discovery and nonequilibrium control of quantum phases of matter, ultrafast laser science. Many of the most robust and dramatic properties are due to the grouping of many electrons into a rigid macroscopic degree of freedom that occurs, for example, in superconductors and magnets. Many properties of solids are associated with the quantum motion of electrons from atom to atom.
Much modern research focuses on the properties of artificial materials in which atoms are put together in new ways either at the atomic level or on nanometer length scales. Condensed matter physics is mainly concerned with the properties of matter in the solid-state.
