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
