Research at the Solid State Physics Laboratory (LPS) focuses on the theoretical and experimental study of the electronic, optical and structural properties of nano-structured materials, surfaces and interfaces, based on experiments and numerical simulations.

This interdisciplinary research is integrated into several institutes at the University of Namur NISM, naXys, PaTHs and use the resources of several technology platforms PTCI, MorphIm, LOS.

History

Three eminent scientists, members of the Classe des Sciences de l'Académie Royale de Belgique, were behind the creation of the Solid State Physics Laboratory: Amand Lucas, Jean-Pol Vigneron (†2013), Philippe Lambin. Pioneers of surface and interface physics, their work has spun off into several of the laboratory's current research themes, such as carbon nanostructures and photonic crystals.
