FIELDS OF STUDY AND RESEARCH
The Physics Department at AUB offers a program leading to the degrees of BS and MS in physics. Students who are admitted to graduate work may receive a teaching assistantship that covers tuition plus an additional stipend.
Fields of study and research in the Department include:
Theoretical High Energy Physics
Supergravity, Superstring Theory, Quantum Gravity, Particle Physics
Astrophysics
Physics of Stars, Synthesis of Elements in Stars, Radiation Transport, Solar System Formation, Stability and Chaos, Stellar Dynamics
Condensed Matter Physics
Polymer Physics, Magnetic Nanostructures, Molecular Physics in lcosohedral Symmetry
Materials Science
Paramagnetic Resonance, Thin Films and Plasma Processing, Magnetization and Susceptibility
Research in Theoretical Fields is done in collaboration with the recently established Center for Advanced Mathematical Sciences. In addition, experimental research may be carried out at the Central Science Research Laboratory which is being established for the science departments (Biology, Chemistry, Geology and Physics). In this lab, research facilities include:
Nuclear magnetic resonance
X-rays diffraction
Pulsed laser deposition on thin films
Scanning probe microscopy |
