Course Overview

We offer postgraduate research degrees in Physics at the MPhil and Ph.D. level in all of our major research areas such as Emerging Technology and Materials, Applied Mathematics, and Photoelectron Spectroscopy. We supervise MPhil and Ph.D. students whose interests match the expertise we have in our five main research themes. We research the electronic, optical, structural, and magnetic properties of novel solid-state materials, particularly novel semi-conductor structures and nanostructured materials such as nanocrystals and nanowires. Theoretical studies use quantum-mechanical approaches and involve massively parallel supercomputing. Our development of new approaches to quantum modeling is changing the size and complexity of systems that can be modeled. Experimental work takes place at synchrotron facilities in Europe and America and related work takes place with colleagues in the Emerging Technology and Materials (ETM) Group in the School of Engineering.
