The Condensed Matter Physics Laboratory is equipped with growth facilities for either liquid phase epitaxy or molecular beam epitaxy. It also has a film deposition machine such as a radio-frequency magnetron sputtering system. There are also characterization setups for structural (X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope), optical (photoluminescence, electrical (current-voltage, hall, resistivity, deep level transient spectroscopy) and magnetic (AC susceptibility) properties. 

The Condensed Matter Physics Laboratory (CMPL) started through a makeshift laboratory setup at Llamas Science Hall in order to investigate high temperature superconductors (HTSCs). CMPL is now divided into two sub-groups: CMPL Semicon and CMPL Supercon.

Their research areas include: growth, physical properties and applications of high temperature superconductors; epitaxial growth, electronic and optical properties of III-V semiconductors in bulk, quantum wells and dots; and opto-electronic devices.
