Tree planting in memory of Professor Tom Marsh
On Friday 20 October, colleagues from across the department were joined by Tom's family to plant a tree in Tom's memory. The magnolia galaxy tree was planted at the new on campus observatory where the department's astronomy students will have opportunities to observe through the new telescope.
Encyclopedia of Condensed Matter Physics, 2nd edition, published - with Ana Sanchez and Rudo Roemer among the section editors
Encyclopedia of Condensed Matter PhysicsLink opens in a new window, Second Edition, Five Volume Set, with Warwick Profs Ana Sanchez and Rudo Roemer among the six section editors, is an authoritative and comprehensive expansion of the classic 2005 work, delivering over 300 brand new or fully updated articles focused on core theoretical discoveries and modern applications.
Meticulously planned and structured into approximately 60 sections, the book allows the user to quickly gain a solid footing in the key theoretical aspects of quantum mechanics, mechanics, electrodynamics, relativity, statistical mechanics and the elementary particles that form the core physics background for the field. The work also presents useful coverage of experimental techniques, materials processing, and materials systems, as well as applied topics.
Novel topics, including topology in condensed matter, graphene, integer and fractional quantum Hall effect, and other nanoscale phenomena in optics, in semiconductors, and in superconductors are presented in unusual depth. The encyclopedia solves the problem that students and interdisciplinary researchers often have of finding clear, accessible foundational information to answer their initial questions on a topic.
Watch our Research Culture videos
A series of videos have been developed to highlight the department's research culture.
Our department commits to a positive research culture and to highlight this Dr Sue Burrows and Dr Reza Kashtiban were granted funding from the University's Research Culture Forum with the idea of developing videos of some of our researchers.
