Nanoparticle and polymer physics Studies of the many different and important basic roles polymers play in all biological systems, and the many crucial applications of biopolymers in both medicine and industry. Includes both experimental and theoretical studies. Contact: Arne Mikkelsen More on Nanoparticle and polymer physics ...
Laboratory for soft and complex matter studies We study the physics of Soft condenced matter, i.e. materials which are easily deformable by external stresses, electric or magnetic fields, or by thermal fluctuations. Contact: Jon Otto Fossum More on Laboratory for soft and complex matter studies ...
Breakdown and transport phenomena in disordered systems and materials Studies of non-linear growth processes, breakdown, the dynamics of granular media and flow in porous media, by use of numerical and theoretical methods. Fracture processes in materials as a consequence of mechanical stress are examples of physical collective phenomena. Contact: Alex Hansen More on Breakdown and transport phenomena in disordered systems and materials ...
Nanostructured surfaces and surface processes Experimental studies of nanostructured surfaces (illustration to the right) and surface processes by photoemission (XPS, UPS), energy diffraction (LEED), photoemission microscopy (PEEM) end thermal desorption (TPD). Numerical (Monte-Carlo) simulations of surface processes. Contact: Steinar Raaen More on Nanostructured surfaces and surface processes ...
Cooperation between with The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), The University of Oslo (UiO) and The Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) through the coordinated research team COMPLEX.
