The main activities of the Institute of Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research are devoted to materials research significant for future information technology by using ion beams as an important tool for this. These activities can be grouped into six main research topics as shown in the above graphic. The research aims towards potential applications in, e.g., nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, spintronics, and photovoltaics.

The institute operates an Ion Beam Center, which is open to universities, other research institutes, and industrial partners. Additional activities are related to the free-electron laser at the superconducting electron accelerator ELBE for condensed matter research. For both facilities transnational access for external users is supported through the EU funded projects SPIRIT and ELISA, respectively. The institute also operates the materials research section of the beamline ROBL at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble.

The two directors of the institute are full professors of physics at the Technical University Dresden.
