TeachigThe Institute has two amphitheatres equipped with a complete set of audio visual systems. Teaching rooms also equipped with audio visual systems. Two specific rooms for computational physics for 30 students. Laboratories on basic and modern physics. Library comprises a vast collection of books and journals. Is equipped with a computer net work allowing access to the web.

ResearchElectron Microscopy Center with two TEM microscopes one of 120 kV and another of 200 kV. One diffractometer for materials diffraction, two scanning microscopes. Two ion implanters of 0.5 e 3 MeV. Two diffractometers for powder diffraction. SQUID, PPMS, VSM, 2 AGM´s, XPS, AUGER, 4 EVAPORATORS, SAXS facility, AFM, Elipsometer, microelectronic laboratory, Analogical electronic lab. In near future a Focused ion Beam FIB. Two cluster for parallel computation.

1.3-Infra-Estructure

Extension

• Open House Program of UFRGS. The IF-UFRGS participates actively in this program with the students that explain and expose their scientific works for the community. Many demonstration in physics are also exhibit.

• Workshop of Graduate Students. In its fourth edition. It was created and is organized by the students to show their scientific works to the community of the Institute of Physics.

• Winter School of IF. In its third edition it is offer to students of other universities and students of UFRGS that want participate. It is held in parallel with the workshop of students.

1.3-Infra-Estructure

Extension

There are three extetion programs

a) Astronomy itinerant laboratory, to spread out the astronomy to the community inside and outside of our State. It opens the opportunity to make observations, watch videos, movies about astronomy and astrophysics.

b) Itinerant Laboratory for Science and Technology to spread out science and technology to the community inside and outside of our State, giving seminars and showing and videos movies about science and technology.

c) Seminars at the Livraria Cultura. The IF-UFRGS promotes seminars on physics and astronomy given by the researchers about themes of interest in science. It is open to the people that are interested in sciences.
