Rutgers University Department of Physics and Astronomy
Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
Research activities of the condensed matter theory group
The Rutgers faculty in condensed matter theory have interests
spanning many areas including: highly-correlated electron
phenomena, such as high-temperature superconductivity, magnetism
and heavy-fermion physics; physics at surfaces, including dynamic
phenomena and electronic and geometrical structure; quantum
liquids; equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics;
breakdown phenomena in disordered materials; first-principles
calculations of electronic and structural properties; phase
transitions and critical phenomena; semiconductor physics; quantum
statistical mechanics and field theory; thermodynamics, transport
and localization in disordered systems. There is also a strong
mathematical physics effort at Rutgers, centered primarily on
rigorous results in statistical mechanics and quantum field
theory.

the members of the group.
