Experimental researchers in condensed matter physics work diligently across numerous significant fields, spanning from organic semiconductor multilayers to nanowires and single-electron transistors. Here's an overview of some key areas. Using organic molecular beam deposition, scientists create thin organic films, multilayer organic structures, and hybrid organic-inorganic nanosystems. These investigations aim to deepen the microscopic comprehension of exciton behavior in organic materials while optimally integrating the characteristics of organic and inorganic components. Regarding semiconductors, researchers examine low-dimensional systems, especially MBE-grown II-VI quantum wells and dots, employing various light scattering methods such as low-temperature continuous-wave and time-resolved photoluminescence, Raman scattering, and degenerate four-wave mixing. Substantial work also focuses on the electronic and spin characteristics of semiconductor nanowires and their heterostructures. By merging high-resolution optical spectroscopy with spatial and temporal precision, we correlate nanostructure architecture with their physical behaviors. Additional studies explore far-infrared absorption in uniform metal nanoparticles like Au55 clusters, along with investigations into metal-insulator transitions and superconductivity in high-temperature cuprates.

Qualification Requirements
The minimum required GPA for graduate study is 3.0. Applicants should take the General GRE, and are strongly encouraged to take the Physics GRE subject area test for international applicants. Applicants without Physics GRE subject area test scores must provide other evidence of outstanding achievement and promise. There are no minimum required GRE scores for admission. Instead, we consider your scores, overall record, and letters of recommendation to make the admission decision.
transcripts, which preferably arrive by mail,
any GRE and TOEFL scores, which preferably arrive directly from ETS,
three letters of recommendation, which the reviewers put into the university's online system,
a statement of purpose and a curriculum vitae, which the applicant uploads into the university's online system,
an application form, created from the applicant's responses to the sections of the university's online system.
All foreign nationals must submit proof. The preference is to have TOEFL IBT scores sent directly by ETS to the Physics Department. The minimum acceptable score is 68.
