Condensed Matter Divison​

The Condensed Matter Division (CMD) of the European Physical Society aims to serve its scientific, industrial and educational communities by helping them to obtain the latest information on progress in their specialties and related fields, to gain visibility for their research, to help them interact with their peers and to develop professionally.

 

For this, CMD organises a number of major physics events (see list below), issues a b-monthly newsletter, and awards two of the foremost prizes in Condensed Matter Physics: the EPS Europhysics Prize and the Liquid Matter Prize.

  • Erich Runge (Chair, Technical University of Ilmenau, Germany)
  • José Maria de Teresa (Instituto de Nanociencia y Materiales de Aragón, Zaragoza, Spain) 
  • Laurence Ramos (Soft Matter and Biophysics section, CNRS-University of Montpellier, France)
  • Joaquim Agostinho Moreira (Structure and Dynamics section, University of Porto, Portugal)
  • Christian Enss (Low Temperature Section, University of Heidelberg, Germany)
  • Roberto Cerbino (Liquid Matter Section, University of Vienna, Austria)
  • Enrique Díez (Semiconductors and Quantum Materials Section, University of Salamanca, Spain)
  • Amina Taleb (Surface and Interface Physics section, Synchrotron SOLEIL, Gif-sur Yvette, France)
  • Olivier Fruchart (Magnetism / EMA, Spintec CEA, Grenoble, France)
  • Julia Contreras García (EHPRG, CNRS, Sorbonne Université, France)
  • Silke Bühler Paschen (elected, University of Vienna, Austria)
  • María José Calderón (elected, Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid, CSIC, Spain)
  • Venkata Kamalakar (elected, Uppsala University, Sweden)
  • José Lado (elected, Aalto University, Finland)
  • Laurence Noirez (elected, CEA-Saclay, France)
  • Roberta Caruso (co-opted, EPS Young Minds, University of Naples, Italy)
  • Kees van der Beek (co-opted, CNRS, Palaiseau, France)
  • Aleksandra Szkudlarek (co-opted, University of Krakow, Poland)
  • Hannah Price (co-opted,University of Birmingham, UK) 

The Condensed Matter Division includes several sections focused on specific areas of condensed matter physics:

 

  • Liquid Matter
  • Low Temperature Physics 
  • Magnetism – close collaboration with EMA
  • Semiconductors and Quantum Materials
  • Soft Condensed Matter and Biophysics
  • Structural And Dynamical Properties Of Solids
  • Surfaces And Interfaces
