The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Manchester ranks among the UK's most prominent and dynamic physics departments. With a distinguished history of academic and research excellence, we engage with nearly all modern research fields. Our department plays a key role in several Manchester-based interdisciplinary research centers, including The National Graphene Institute, the Photon Science Institute, the Manchester Centre for Non-Linear Dynamics, and the Dalton Nuclear Institute. The department also oversees the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire.
The Condensed Matter physics group conducts remarkably diverse research, spanning from investigating electronic, optical, mechanical and magnetic characteristics of various two-dimensional materials and their heterostructures to studying quantum fluid physics, superconductivity induced by intercalation in layered materials, and mass transfer through ultra-thin channels in membranes based on 2D materials.
