Superconductivity and Magnetism
The Superconductivity and Magnetism Group is part of Condensed Matter Physics in the Physics Department at the University of Warwick. The Superconductivity and Magnetism Group's research interests are centred around the properties of strongly correlated electron systems. The Group has three core activities:
- single crystal growth and sample preparation,
- measurements of magnetic, thermodynamic, and transport properties,
- neutron scattering and muon spectroscopy studies.

Group Facilities
The Group Research Facilities section of our website contains a guide to the instruments and the different experimental techniques used by the Group.
The facilities based at Warwick are available for use by other members of the Department, the University, and, through collaborations, external users. If you would like to know more please contact a member of the Superconductivity and Magnetism Group.
