Research areas

Condensed matter theory studies systems consisting of usually very many interacting particles. While the properties of such systems are fundamentally determined by the constituting particles (electrons and nuclei) and their interactions (electromagnetism), they cannot be simply read off from these. Think of the difference between diamond and graphite, which consist of the same particles. We consider such emergent, collective properties for various solids.
