Division of Complex Materials
Head of Division: Arne Mikkelsen
The research deals with basic material science,
with focus on:
- Nanoparticle and polymer physics >>
- Physical phenomena and processes in nanosilicates >>
- Studies of self organization, pattern formation and breakdown phenomens
- Morphology of Brittle Fracture Surfaces
- Search for Predictability of Imminent Failure
- Steady-State Two-Phase Flow in Porous Media
- Econophysics
- Dynamics and Statics of Granular Media
- X-ray diffraction studies
- Ferroic materials
- Ethylene copolymers
- Nano-structured surfaces and surface processes
- Rare earth based surface alloys
- Nano carbon structures
- Topics from theoretical physics
- Quantum optics.
- Complex phenomena.
- Biophysics.

By integration of
theory,
simulations,
and experiments,
we are able to obtain new important information and details on complex materials.
