Objective
The application of mesoscopic structures in both electronics and optoelectronics is new and creates high hopes for the future. The high quality research in different institutes in Europe has established a strong position in the domain of mesoscopic and quantum structures. The high complexity of the research and its cost necessitates a strong collaboration within a coordinated European action to remain competitive with Japan and the US. The main goal of the PHANTOMS network is to promote a coordinated approach in European research efforts in the field of mesoscopic systems.
The application of mesoscopic structures in both electronics and optoelectronics is new and creates high hopes for the future. The research in different institutes in Europe has established a strong position in the domain of mesoscopic and quantum structures. The network will promote a coordinated approach in European research efforts in the field of mesoscopic systems.
The 3 broad areas of scientific study which may yield new, exploitable devices and systems are quantum and single electron transport; optical phenomena in laterally patterned structures; and ultrafast devices and phenomena. A 4th essential area of study involves materials and technology for mesoscopic and nanoelectronic devices. To work towards these objectives, the following activities have been started:
strategy meeting to define long term technological objectives, monitor progress in on going research activities and identify gaps;
liaison with industry to ensure an application driven approach;
publication of a newsletter to disseminate information to institutes and industry in Europe and abroad, and to stimulate opportunities for cooperation;
establishment of a database centralizing information on the network efforts in the mesoscopic domain;
creation of an infrastructure to provide advanced training facilities in this domain.
STRUCTURE
The Network presently consists of 33 nodes and 16 associate members. An annual plenary meeting is organised with one representative from each node. The management of the network is handled by a coordination board, assisted by four task forces on each of the above-mentioned research topics. Members of the board are appointed to act as industrial liaison channels and to deal with workshops and training issues.
ACTIVITIES
Three broad areas of scientific study which may yield new, exploitable devices and systems will be addressed: quantum and single electron transport; optical phenomena in laterally patterned structures; and ultrafast devices and phenomena. Additionally, it is clear that the technologies which allow experimental devices to be fabricated are in many respects inadequate and will require further development. For this reason a fourth essential area of study involves materials and technology for mesoscopic and nanoelectronic devices. To work towards these objectives, the following activities have been started:
- strategy meetings to define long-term technological objectives, monitor progress in on-going research activities and identify gaps
- liaison with industry to ensure an application-driven approach
- publication of a newsletter to disseminate information to institutes and industry in Europe and abroad, and to stimulate opportunities for cooperation (sharing of equipment, human resources, exchange of know-how, exchange of devices, etc)
- establishment of a database centralising information on the network efforts in the mesoscopic domain
- creation of an infrastructure to provide advanced training facilities in this domain.
