Collective electronic states in nanostructures

Ziel

Advances in fundamental nanoscience have the potential to create novel technologies in information science and new research directions in modern solid-state physics. This network program is aimed at implementing advanced experimental and theoretical approaches for the production, understanding, and manipulation of collective phases of electrons in low-dimensional systems. The main research topics that will be addressed during the network programme are: coupled multilayer electron systems, frictional drag in coupled bilayers, multicomponent quantum Hall magnets and their soft collective excitations, spin phases and Kondo physics in single and coupled quantum dots, non-Fermi liquids and electron transport in semiconductor quantum wires, molecular wires and carbon nanotubes, Wigner crystallization in ultralow density quantum Hall systems and soft magneto-roton excitations, composite-fermion states, charge-density wave states at high Landau level occupancy, coherent states in hybrid semiconductor/superconductor heterostructures, carrier-mediated ferromagnetic phases in semiconductor materials. The research programme will strongly benefit from the expertise and competence of some of the leading European experimental and theoretical groups in this field and will exploit a broad range of complementary techniques for the investigation of such phenomena together with advanced nanofabrication and growth protocols for the realization of suitable state-of -the-art nanostructures. Two world-leader US-based research teams will take part in the network too and will contribute by expanding the training opportunities offered by this network with their competence in spectroscopy and theoretical studies of quantum Hall liquids. Their involvement will exploit a new funding opportunity that US National Science Foundation is offering to US institutions to support their participation in the EC's Research Training Network (this cooperation is made possible by the EU-US
