 | Research within physics of condensed matter physics includes experimental and theoretical investigations.
Main domains of research include:
 | New materials of highly anisotropic crystal and electronic structures (systems with charge and spin density waves). | | Electronic and magnetic properties of amorphous metal alloys. |  | Strongly correlated electronic systems (heavy fermions, Kondo alloys and high temperature superconductors) |
|
| | Investigations of critical phenomena, including modelling of "equilibrium" phase transitions, as well as nonreversible processes like surface growth |
| Investigations in the domain of many body theories of low dimension systems (high temperature superconductivity, Pierls instability, charge and spin density waves). |
Materials investigated include semiconductors, superconductors, ionic materials, metals, metal glasses alloys and various organic and inorganic compounds.
