 | | The primary areas of experimental and theoretical research in the Department of Physics are experimental biophysics, physical biology, high-energy particle physics, atomic and molecular physics, the physics of solids and fluids, astrophysics, computational physics, aspects of nuclear physics, statistical mechanics, quantum optics, mathematical physics, quantum field theory, string theory, and relativity. |
 | | The physics department and its collaborators are leaders in a broad spectrum of physics research, utilizing facilities and technologies that are continually being modified and improved with changing research interests and techniques. |
 | | Current research efforts are centered on (i) studying electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of individual chemical nanostructures and (ii) developing synthesis methods for transition-metal-oxide and chalcogenide nanostructures and studying the role of phase transitions in determining their properties at the individual nanostructure level. |
