Materials Physics can be described as a sub-discipline of condensed matter physics that tries to explain how materials, at the atomic and molecular levels, perform their functions. Technologies from metallic and ceramic materials, polymers, and composites pertain to this field which is significant in advancing new technologies and applications in several sectors.

One of the key concerns of materials physics is the study of a material and the way its structure determines its characteristics. Lattice parameters that were earlier elucidated through X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, spectroscopy, and so on in the analysis of the arrangement of atoms and its consequent electronic optical, and mechanical properties are also presented. These relationships enhance the ability of researchers to forecast the behavior of material in certain conditions, or when under certain stressors.

Semiconductors, diodes, transistors, etc are some of the electronic materials of immense importance, and thus, electronic material is one of the most important sub-disciplinary fields in the field of materials physics. This capability promotes innovation in computing, communication technology, and energy storage facilities. In the same way, magnetic materials are investigated for their functions in data storage media, sensors, and electromagnetic devices with ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials among the prominent materials in today’s technology.

Superconductors and quantum materials are already considered as the fields of recent advancements in the field of material physics. They have absolutely zero electrical resistance and are useful for removing a magnetic field when cooled below a certain temperature; useful for applications in MRI and power lines. Quantum materials, in contrast, exhibit properties driven at the quantum level and may harbor fundamental innovations for quantum devices such as computing units and sensors.

Another correlated area in materials physics is nanostructures, while studying it at the nanoscopic level, the properties and the functions of the new and advanced compositions can be improved. Nanostructures play a role in catalysts, biomedical uses in drug delivery, and utilization in cleansing and purifying the environment.
