Welcome to Materials Physics (200 words) |
 | We study a range of problems relating to the physics of materials. |
| There is a particular interest in the size and structure and how these parameters relate to the observed physical properties of materials. |
| Magnetic properties of artificial heterostructures and hydrogen in artificial materials are examples of current research topics. |

Materials science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1073 words) |
| A true understanding of materials, however, was not possible until the realization by Willard Gibbs in the second half of the 19th century of the thermodynamic properties which relate how atoms are arranged in various phases (whether they are various types of solids, liquids, or gases) to the properties of the material. |
| The basis of all materials science involves relating the desired properties and relative performance of a material in a certain application to the structure of the atoms and phases in that material through characterization, the way in which the material was processed (formed or created) being the main determinant of the structure and thus properties. |
| One kind of material science is "materials physics," which is a field of physics concerned with the physical properties of materials. |
