The Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden – in short IFW – is a legally and economically independent research institution and a member of the Leibniz Association. The five in-stitutes of the IFW operate in joint research programs (in four fields: functional materials, quantum materials, nanoscale materials, towards products) and have the level of equipment, which befits an internationally leading research facility.
