Materials Physics
The research within Materials Physics at Uppsala University is centred around understanding the physical properties of materials by analysing their structure and composition across multiple length scales, from the atomic to the macroscopic, and linking them to functional properties. Core areas are magnetism, hydrogen, energy materials, soft matter and ion-solid interactions.
We perform advanced materials research that provides physics understanding relevant to the entire life cycle of materials – from production to recycling. At the heart of our activities lie tailored synthesis and comprehensive characterisation of materials with a broad toolkit of approaches, methods and instruments. We house among others the X-ray scattering lab, magneto-optical characterisation lab, and contribute to the additive manufacturing initiative AM@Å. We are scientifically leading the Swedish national research infrastructures Tandem Laboratory for ion-beam based techniques and SuperADAM at ILL, France, for neutron scattering.
We are also contributing to teaching courses with connections to materials research and experimental techniques as well as basic physics, and regularly offer student projects.
