Graduate students are given a solid background in the fundamentals of classical and modern physics at an advanced level. The atmosphere in the department is one of intellectual challenge and stimulation. The physics faculty members at Mines have been attracted from the top universities and research institutions; their national and international reputations are based on contributions to physics research and education. Research Applied optics, nuclear/subatomic physics, and condensed matter physics are major focus areas for the physics research program. A wide range of research projects is actively pursued within each area and there is a great deal of collaboration between these groups. A sizable number of graduate students in materials science and nuclear engineering are also working under members of the physics faculty. Current fields of research include: * Applied Optics: laser development, ultrafast optics, x-ray generation, spectroscopy, near-field and multi-photon microscopy, non-linear optics, wave propagation phenomena * Nuclear Physics: low energy reactions, nuclear structure and astrophysics, nuclear theory, fusion plasma diagnostics, fission detectors * Astroparticle Physics: ultrahigh energy cosmic-rays, exotic objects, laser "test-beams", atmospherics, instrumentation development * Electronic Materials: photovoltaics, liquid crystals, polymer electronics, x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, thin film semiconductors, transparent conductors, amorphous materials * Nanoscale Materials: nanoparticles, nanowires, nanocrystals, plasmonics devices, molecular motors, nanoparticle-organic composites * Surface and Interface Physics: surface functionalization, self-assembled systems, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger spectroscopy, scanning     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees The graduate program in applied physics is open to graduates from four-year programs at accredited colleges or universities.  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 476  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 750  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $1130  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $20340  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
