Fundamentals of NanoElectronics (FoNE)

FoNE was a EUROCORES programme focusing on fundamental nanoscale phenomena affecting electron transport. These included: 

  1. Quantum transport, noise and correlations in quantum dots wires and other novel structures;
  2. Molecular-scale electronicsand atomic contacts;
  3. Nanoscale spin dependent transport and control;
  4. Proximity effects and hybrid nanostructures.

The research carried out underpinned many areas of nanoelectronics and helped to create the necessary knowledge for a society in which microelectronics is gradually replaced by nanoelectronics.

Highlights

FoNE Final Conference

FoNE held the final conference in Miraflores de la Sierra close to Madrid from the 9-13 September 2009. Scientists of all five collaborative research projects gathered to present results and discuss future developments. Oral and poster presentation from over 50 participants addressed topics including nanoscale contacts ; transport in carbon nanostructures, graphene and semiconductor nanowires ; spintronics devices and spin dynamics in quantum dots.
