Materials Science & Engineering

The Materials Physics section deals with material science. The research is focused on nanoscale structure studies and connection to macroscopic physical properties, as well as fabrication and studies of optoelectronic materials. Activities include topics both in experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics. Strategically we are well positioned with respect to nationally prioritized areas. The division has been successful in attracting significant funding from national and European funding agencies and have close ties to Norwegian industry.
