PhD in Physics in Florida United States | Florida Atlantic University

In May 1990, the Physics Department relocated to the new Science and Engineering building, which houses state-of-the-art electronics and machine workshops operated by a dedicated electronics specialist and two professional machinists.

Current experimental research focuses primarily on condensed matter physics and spectroscopy. The department offers capabilities for creating and processing metallic alloy crystals, superconducting powders, and semiconductor materials.

These materials can be analyzed and characterized using various techniques including Auger spectroscopy, LEED, UV and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, as well as optical methods like Brillouin and Raman scattering.

Theoretical physics initiatives encompass astrophysics (particularly stellar evolution), condensed matter studies, and mathematical physics. Astrophysics research involves numerical simulations of Einstein's General Relativity equations to examine neutron star and black hole binary systems. Theoretical investigations into metallic alloys and superconductivity rely heavily on electronic structure computations.
