Research at the IAP

Research at the Institute of Applied Physics (IAP) ranges from purely experimental work in atomic and plasma physics, biophysics, surface physics, laser and ultrasound applications to computational solid-state physics.

Our institute excels at fundamental as well as applied research, often performed in close collaboration with partners in industry. Our scientific results are published in highly prestigious journals (almost three dozen papers in Physical Review Letters within 5 years). Research at the forefront of physics also provides excellent opportunities for students to get hands-on experience on state-of-the-art methods and techniques.

Scientific work is carried out within six Research Groups:

• atomic (Head Prof. F. Aumayr)
• Biophysics (Head Prof. G. Schütz)
• Computational Materials Science (Head Prof. P. Mohn)
• Sensors (Head Prof. M. Gröschl)
• opt (Head Prof. W. Werner)
• surface (Head Prof. U. Diebold)

Publications of our institute (since 2002; from TU Wien Publication Database):

• Publications in scientific journals
• Search (all types of publications, presentations, theses).
