Our expertise by materials class

The development and characterisation of biomaterials and soft materials for the life sciences.

The excitation dynamics of magnetic order in structured magnetic materials, and their relevance to data storage, electromagnetic control, electronics, spintronics and magnonics.

Exploiting switchable electrical and optical properties of phase change materials for photonics, neuromorphic computing, displays and data processing and storage technologies.

Engineering of materials and interfaces to enhance electrical, thermal, electromagnetic, and mechanical characteristics, for energy creation, storage and conversion, electromagnetic field control, and catalysis.

The extraordinary electrical, thermal, mechanical and optical properties of few-atom thick materials, and their application to optoelectronics, electronics, photonics, construction materials, energy and sensing.

We work closely with the Exeter Technologies Group (ETG) to investigate and better understand the interactions of materials science and manufacturing processes, including additive layer manufacture.
