	Condensed Matter Physics at Tufts University
		Condensed matter physics is the study of materials in the solid or liquid state, including their structure and mechanical, electrical, magnetic, thermal, optical and chemical properties.
		Students with strong backgrounds in condensed matter physics are often well qualified for research and engineering positions in industry, as well as for academic careers.
		Experimental condensed matter physics at Tufts focuses on the magnetic properties of materials, structural properties and phase transitions in polymers, and interactions of atoms and molecules with metal surfaces.

	Condensed Matter Physics
		Condensed matter physics encompasses a variety of research topics that pertain to the properties of solids and liquids.
		Condensed matter physics is a critical field in which fundamental insights into basic science enable progress in technology.
		State-of-the-art electronic structure work as well as simple physical models are being used to gain a better understanding of the structural, magnetic and conducting properties of bulk solids (such as binary alloys and permanent magnets), surfaces/interfaces (of metals and oxides) and nanostructured devices.

	[No title]
		Condensed Matter Physics has grown from its roots in Solid State Physics and Low Temperature Physics to encompass the basic physics of the structure and properties of materials, from the atomic scale to the larger scales of familiar phenomena in the world around us.
		Despite interesting new physics properties associated with this vortex-liquid state and the phase transitions between the vortex-solid and vortex-liquid, the thermally-induced vortex motion in the vortex-liquid state results in dissipation which limits the usefulness of high-temperature superconductors to lower temperatures.
		Physical systems may be driven "far from equilibrium" by the continuous addition and subtraction of energy, for example the passage of a heat current through a fluid system, or the continuous pumping of chemical constituents to give a chemical reaction that never "runs down".

		Condensed Matter physicists study matter in its nearly unlimited variety of condensed states from liquids to crystalline solids, from thin films to fabricated nanostructures, from quantum Hall electron gases to superconductors, from carbon nanotubules to liquid crystals, and from amorphous structures to complex fluids.
		Condensed matter physics underlies many key devices of information technology, including the transistor, the solid-state laser, optical fiber, magnetic storage media, and the liquid crystal display.
		We are pursuing the physics of both single polymer molecules as well as ensembles of many polymers, studying both the static, equilibrium behavior, as well as dynamical behavior.

		Strongly correlated electrons in condensed matter produce numerous exciting and exotic states of matter such as superconductivity and mangnetism.

	TCM Group
		Theoretical Condensed Matter physics is about building models of physical processes, often driven by experimental data, generalising the solutions of those models to make experimental predictions, and transferring the concepts gained into other areas of research.
		For this type of physics a more model-based approach is appropriate, and we are using such methods to attack problems in magnetism, superconductivity, nonlinear optics, mesoscopic systems, polymers, and colloids.
		As examples, we work on self-organising structures in "soft" condensed matter systems, non-linear dynamics of interacting systems, the observer in quantum mechanics, and models of biophysical processes, from the molecular scale up to neural systems.

		The research programme is a collaborative effort between experimental and theoretical physicists, together with material scientists, with the common goal of understanding of the behaviour of correlated electrons in oxide materials.
		The work is distributed across the collaborating institutions: at the University of St Andrews (School of Physics and Astronomy), at the University of Birmingham (in the School of Physics and Astronomy and also the School of Chemistry) and in the Low Temperature Physics group at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge.
		In condensed matter physics we often find that the combination of interactions, quantum effects and local environment (which is different in every material) leads to new types of behaviour and even new types of `quantum particles' which govern the low energy and temperature properties.
