The research activities of the members of the Department of Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (CMMP) are focused on the experimental and theoretical study of the properties of condensed matter as well as on the growth and applications of materials. More specifically, expect from the common categories of materials like metals, semiconductors and insulators where the structure and the carrier concentration determine the optical, electronic, and thermal properties and consequently their applications, members of the CMMP Department are also active in the research of nanomaterials, organic electronics, biomaterials, materials for biomedical applications, cultural heritage etc. Finally, members of the CMMP Department are involved in Physics Didactics and Educational Technology.
