Fundamentals of NanoElectronics (FoNE)

FoNE is a EUROCORES programme focusing on fundamental nanoscale phenomena affecting electron transport. These include:

(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 to be carried out underpins many areas of nanoelectronics and will help to create the necessary knowledge for a society in which microelectronics is gradually replaced by nanoelectronics.

Highlights

Spintronic Nano-devices from Warsaw. Researchers at the Institute of Physics Polish Academy of Sciences at Warsaw have fabricated a series of 1D hybrid nanostructures containing MBE-grown modulation-doped PbTe quantum wells embedded by Pb$_{0.92}$Eu$_{0.08}$Te:Bi barriers and indium as a superconductor injector.

Spintronics is on the agenda at Leeds. Dr. Chris Marrows talks about recent results achieved in SPINCURRENT consortium.

Can Nuclear Qubits Point the Way? Researchers at Oxford tell us about their results within the IMPRESS Project.

In search of the Holy Gra...phene! Researchers meet at Windsor to discuss the properties of this still 'unknown' material.
