The objective is to carry out research in experimental condensed matter physics with special emphasis in (i) the design and development of advanced experimental systems suitable for measurements using high pressure, low temperature and high magnetic field, and (ii) to process new materials and study their macroscopic and microscopic properties.

Research in experimental condensed matter physics was conducted in the general areas of conducting nano-composites, rare-earth based intermetallics, perovskites, double perovskites, quasi low-dimensional system, quantum spin chains, strongly correlated systems and nano- crystalline materials.
