Introduction
The staff of the Department of Theoretical
Physics carry out research in a wide variety of areas as outlined
below. A significant part of our research is carried out as collaborative
projects with colleagues at other Australian institutions and overseas.
Groups
Particle
Physics
Elementary particles and quantum field
theory, lattice gauge theories of quarks and quark confinement.
Further Information
Atomic
and Nuclear Physics
Parity and time invariance violation
in atoms and nuclei. Variation of fundamental constants and its
effect on atomic and nuclear properties. Quantum chaos and statistical
laws in finite many-body systems. Enhancement of weak interactions
in chaotic states. Isotope shift. Relativistic and many-body effects
in atoms. Methods of high precision atomis calculations.
Further Information
Condensed
Matter Theory
High-temperature superconductivity,
electrons in solids, surface and interface problems, magnetism,
phase transitions, theory of liquids, nonlinear phenomena.
Further Information
Statistical
Mechanics and Dynamical Systems
Research into the microscopic behaviour
of nonequilibrium steady states and the application of chaotic dynamical
systems theory to such systems.
