Short description: |
The National Institute for Materials Physics (NIMP) Bucharest (Romania) is one of the physics institutes belonging to Institute of Atomic Physics (IFA-Bucharest-Magurele), one major research center in Romania. The general goal of the NIMP is to conduct high level basic and applied research in some selected areas of Solid State Physics and Materials Science. With a high qualified personnel (15 PhD supervisors, 75 Doctors, 54 PhD students), the NIMP is implied an important number of national and international R &D projects. LABORATORIES and MAIN RESEARCH ACTIVITIES:
