The Applied Physics is on (fuzzy) demarcation to experimental physics , partly for theoretical physics . Its main characteristic is that it does not research a given physical phenomenon for its own sake, but against the background of a technical or interdisciplinary problem. In this sense, applied physics is viewed between a modern technology on the one hand and pure physics on the other.

Although most universities have one or more institutes for applied physics within the physics department , there are no corresponding scientific departments or associations. In this sense, applied physics is not a physical discipline, but comprises a large number of disciplines within physics.

Forums for applied physics are scientific journals such as the Journal of Applied Physics and the Applied Physics Letters of the American Institute of Physics , the Japanese Journal of Applied Physics or the Applied Physics A and B respectively . The topics dealt with there provide an overview of the range of topics.

The technological areas of applied physics listed are semiconductor elements , photonics , superconductivity , magnetic data storage, plasma physics , particle accelerators , nanotechnology , applied biosciences, materials science and processing as well as lasers and optics.
