Material Physics and Instrumentation Laboratory

Materials Physics and Instrumentation Laboratory 

(Material Physics and Instrumentation Laboratory at Department of Physics, Gadjah Mada University)

This laboratory was held for the development of the research in Condensed Matter both done in experimental and computational especially in magnetism and electronics both in soft and hard materials and also as functional materials and smart materials.This laboratory was also held for the development of the related instrument in the application of the materials as sensors for different purposes as well as the instrument to facilitate the testing of the materials. This Laboratory was also held to facilitate the research in materials for the undergraduates, the graduates, and postdocts.

Some research in synthesis of nanoelectronics and magnetics materials, as well as the ones based on liquid crystalline were established. To further develop the research, Laboratory maintains the cooperation and lingkage with other national Universities such as ITB and University of Indonesia, other National Research Institute such as LIPI and BATAN, and Foreign Universities sucha as Kyushu University, Kanazawa University, Kyoto University (Japan) and University of Putra Malaysia.

The laboratory utilizes the existing facilities in Gadjah Mada University such as SEM, TEM, XRD, UV-Vis Spectrometer, FTIR Spectrometer and other equipments.

Some researches that have been supported by the Research Grants from The Indonesian Government are:

  1. Theoretical and Computational studies of new artificial-functional materials for energy saving spintronics
  2. Development of Electronics Tounge and Taste For Drugs and Food identification
  3. Development of Metal Organic Supercapacitor
  4. Development of Biosensor based on Giant Magnetic Resonance and Surface Plasmon Resonance
  5. Development of Nano fiber for Energy and Environmental Application.
