Master of Science in Physics - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

The UConn Physics Department has a vibrant community of graduate students working in cutting-edge research fields including:
Astrophysics
Atomic, Molecular and Optical (AMO) Physics
Condensed Matter and Materials Physics
Geophysics and planetary science
Nuclear and Particle Physics
Welcome to the Condensed Matter Physics Group (A. V. Balatsky, J. Budnick, E. Dormidontova, N. Dutta, G. Fernando, D. S. Hamilton, J. N. Hancock, W. Hines, M. Jain, B. Sinkovic, I. Sochnikov, B. O. Wells), where research covers many areas of current focus in the CMP community. They can be broadly grouped into:
Quantum Matter Physics:
Strongly correlated materials: complex oxides, metal insulator transitions, phase separation, cluster studies of Hubbard-like models, intrinsically inhomogenous materials, effects of strain and doping, magnetoresistance, charge-ordering behavior.
Magnetism: first principles electronic structure calculations, half-metallic ferromagnets, spintronics, ultra-thin antiferromagnetic films, exchange coupling, magnetic domain structure, surface magnetism, magnetic-nanoparticles
Superconductivity: high Tc superconductors (cuperates and Fe-based), other novel superconductors, multiple phases with competing ground states.
Multiferroic materials: film growth, structure-property relations in bulk, thin film, and nanocomposites, atomic domain structure.
Soft Matter Physics:

Complex fluids, colloids, synthetic and biological polymers, liquid crystals and nanomaterials, solution properties, mechanical response of networks and gels, adhesion and lubrication, self-assembly.
Photonics:

Semiconductor optoelectronic devices and telecommunication systems including photonic logic devices, fiber lasers, and, quantum dot based.
