The year 2025 has been officially declared by UNESCO as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, recognizing the transformative impact of quantum science on modern society and its foundational role in future technologies. In alignment with this global initiative, the Quantum, Magnetic, and Ionic Physics Research Group (QuMI-Phys Group) was established based on Universitas Indonesia Rector’s Regulation No. 6 of 2025 concerning Research Groups/Laboratories at Universitas Indonesia. This initiative aims to optimize research, which serves as a foundational pillar in the development of science and technology.
This research group represents a collaboration of faculty members actively engaged in the field of Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, combining experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches. The group focuses on exploring the rich interplay between quantum phenomena, magnetic interactions, and ionic transport mechanisms in solid-state materials.
Quantum, magnetic, and ionic physics all play crucial roles in solid-state devices, impacting their functionality and design. Quantum mechanics is fundamental for understanding the behavior of electrons and their interactions within materials, while magnetism influences materials’ magnetic properties and their interaction with magnetic fields. Ionic physics, lastly, governs the motion and behavior of ions within materials, particularly in devices like batteries and sensors.

Quantum mechanics explains how electrons move and interact within solid materials, including phenomena like electron transport, band structure, and the formation of quantum wells and dots. Quantum mechanics is essential for designing and understanding quantum devices like quantum dots, which can be used for quantum computing, sensing, and optical applications. Our research interest focuses on developing theoretical explanations of transport, magnetic, and optical properties of strongly correlated electron systems.

Magnetism plays a pivotal role in the design of materials for data storage, spintronic devices, and precision sensing technologies. This area focuses on computational modeling of magnetization dynamics, micromagnetics, and magnetic interactions in ferromagnetic and composite materials. By employing numerical simulations and data-driven approaches, we investigate spin transport, domain formation, and magnetization reversal mechanisms that underlie advanced magnetic materials and devices.
(Former Micromagnetic Laboratory)
Understanding magnetism at the experimental level is crucial for developing materials and devices that exploit magnetic properties for technological applications. This area investigates magnetic characterization, material synthesis, and experimental magnetometry, focusing on ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic, and nanostructured systems. Our work includes exploring magnetoresistance, coercivity, and spin-dependent transport in magnetic thin films and bulk materials, providing the experimental validation for theoretical and computational predictions.

Ionic physics governs the movement of ions through solid electrolytes, including materials such as perovskite oxides and halides, which are essential for energy storage and transduction applications. Understanding ionic conductivity is crucial for designing and optimizing devices like batteries, fuel cells, and ionic sensors.
