GRK 638:  Nonlinearity and Nonequilibrium in Condensed Matter

• Subject Area: Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2000 to 2009
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 273143

The aim of the research training group is the study of effects ofnonlinearity and nonequilibrium in condensed matter and theuse of methods of the nonlinear dynamics for the understanding ofthe structure of molecules and for the analysis of biomedical signals.Central questions of concepts and methods of the nonlineardynamics will be studied in an interdisciplinary cooperation. Besidesan understanding of nonlinear-dynamic processes, the research shouldlead to applications. Joint with the research program is a teachingprogram offering, in interdisciplinary courses, knowledge aboutnonlinear and nonequilibrium effects. Seminars and workshops willenable the members of the research training group to perform researchprojects in actual fields in an interdisciplinary, creative atmosphere and to strengthen the point of view of applications.
