The atmosphere in the department is one of intellectual challenge and stimulation. The physics faculty members at Mines have been attracted from the top universities and research institutions; their national and international reputations are based on contributions to physics research and education.
Research
Applied optics, nuclear/subatomic physics, and condensed matter physics are major focus areas for the physics research program. A wide range of research projects is actively pursued within each area and there is a great deal of collaboration between these groups. A sizable number of graduate students in materials science and nuclear engineering are also working under members of the physics faculty. Current fields of research include:
Applied Optics: laser development, ultrafast optics, x-ray generation, spectroscopy, near-field and multi-photon microscopy, non-linear optics, wave propagation phenomena
Nuclear Physics: low energy reactions, nuclear structure and astrophysics, nuclear theory, fusion plasma diagnostics, fission detectors
Astroparticle Physics: ultrahigh energy cosmic-rays, exotic objects, laser "test-beams", atmospherics, instrumentation development
Electronic Materials: photovoltaics, liquid crystals, polymer electronics, x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, thin film semiconductors, transparent conductors, amorphous materials
Nanoscale Materials: nanoparticles, nanowires, nanocrystals, plasmonics devices, molecular motors, nanoparticle-organic composites
Surface and Interface Physics: surface functionalization, self-assembled systems, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopes, enhanced Raman scattering, infrared ellipsometry
Theoretical Physics: nuclear theory, condensed matter theory, quantum many body theory, nonlinear dynamics, artificial materials, quantum and wave chaos
Doctor of Philosophy
The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree must complete at least 34 semester hours of course work plus research credit hours for a total of at least 72 credit hours, with a satisfactory thesis. Focus areas offered by the physics department include the following:
