Career in Material Physics

Materials science is an interdisciplinary of physics involves the properties of matter and its applications. This science provides the relationship between the structure of materials at atomic or molecular scales and their macroscopic properties. The Study of Material Physics has many aspects of research in various fields.

• The development of civilization is defined in terms of advances in materials. So, Materials Physics is one of the very oldest sciences. This includes Applied Physics and Chemistry.
• The growth of materials technology in the last half century is tremendous, and its impact on our daily lives, is remarkable. Study of Plastics, Ceramics, Glass, Metals, Semiconductors and Superconductors makes Materials Physics a field of wide research aspects.
• The emerging Technologies Nanotechnology and Nano Science in recent years made a significant attention focused on Materials science. Many research oriented programmes were carried in these fields.

Materials physics can be studied at the Bachelors, Masters, and Ph.D. levels in Materials Physics engineering or physics at many universities. Explore more details on the following subject matters of Materials physics by clicking on the relevant one.
