Students studying condensed matter physics learn about the physical properties of single crystals of elements, simple compounds, and alloys. They learn to investigate novel properties of fluids, crystals, gels, macromolecules, semiconductors, and metals, in order to determine the collective behavior of matter under as broad a range of circumstances as possible. They also work to understand phenomena such as high-temperature superconductivity, spin-glasses, glass transitions, surface and interfacial phenomena, and the structure of polymers and proteins.
They also learn about the coulomb gas and fermi liquid theory, the theory of superconductivity, and the thermodynamic properties of superconductors. Students learn to use optical and electrical probe techniques such as time-resolved scanning Kerr microscopy, Faraday rotation, and scanning tunneling microscopy.
Students who wish to specialize in soft condensed matter physics learn about biophysics. See the article on biophysics for more information.
