The development of transistors, the integrated circuit, liquid-crystal displays, and even DVD players can be traced back to fundamental research pioneered in the field of condensed-matter and materials physics (CMPP). He is well known in the field of soft condensed matter physics and recently received praise for his research in packing of oblate spheroids. Principles of Physics; Introduction to Computer Simulation. Qubits), quantum-mechanical ground state (i.e. This is basically a proof-of-principle kind of experiment– a very impressive proof of a very cool principle. Cosmology and quantum theory rank high on their list, condensed matter physics and biophysics rank low. Nobody can fail to gasp in awe at an Einstein or Bohr who, working with a few facts and pencil and paper, divine grand operating principles for the cosmos in short order. Ever since Geim published his first paper on graphene in Science in October, 2004—"Electric field effect in atomically thin carbon films"—the two-dimensional variation on graphite has taken materials science and condensed-matter physics by storm, while launching Geim into prominence among Thomson Reuters' The work earned Geim a share of one of the tongue-in-cheek IgNobel Awards in 2000, while also entertainingly demonstrating valid principles of diamagnetism. Proceedings of the Eighth Workshop matter physics X. And how does this give you a maximum energy? Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Michigan are applying similar principles in the development optomechanical sensors that will help unlock vibrational secrets of chemical and These devices are of interest to condensed matter physics as the strong phonon-photon coupling enables experiments targeting quantum information storage (i.e. As Bertrand Russell said, “Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so. Computer Simulation Studies in Condensed-Matter Physics VIII: Recent Developments. This analogy, where atoms in an optical lattice behave like electrons in a solid, makes these systems very interesting to condensed matter physicists, and you can find lots of posts talking about these sorts of systems in the condensed matter category for this blog. The United States has been a This book maintains that the field of CMPP is certain to be principle to both scientific and economic advances over the next decade and the lack of an achievable plan would leave the United States behind. Binghamton University physicist Michael Lawler and his colleagues have made a breakthrough that could lead to advances in superconductors.
