Welcome to the Solid State Physics research group

We work in the area of materials physics investigating functional and structural materials with benefits as diverse as improved fuel economy in cars and more powerful computers and mobile phones.

Our expertise in Nanocharacterisation, Nanomagnetics and Quantum Transport provides insight into atomic scale phenomena. We develop instrumentation techniques and understanding in these areas.

We use our expertise to make major contributions to multidisciplinary projects in the area of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Here fundamental physical limits as well as technological challenges determine what is possible and understanding is required to optimise performance.
