Objective The Fertile project addresses the research and development of ferromagnetic semiconductor materials and heterostructures as a novel materials for electronic and optoelectronic applications. The objectives of the project are the realisation of ferromagnetic semiconductors based on GaAs and GaN. We aim at developing these materials using Molecular Beam Epitaxial growth and to fully characterize the magnetic, electrical and optical properties. Further, the experimental effort is supported by theoretical modelling of all-important physical properties. Based on the achievements in uniform thin film growth and the predictions from theoretical work, various heterostructures will be fabricated. This will enable to explore the potential of novel devices based on the electronic spin degree of freedom provided by the ferromagnetic semiconductor materials, which is not yet fully exploited in todays (opto-) electronic components Fields of science engineering and technologymaterials engineeringcoating and filmsnatural sciencesphysical scienceselectromagnetism and electronicsspintronicsnatural sciencesphysical scienceselectromagnetism and electronicssemiconductivity Keywords Nanotechnology Programme(s) FP5-GROWTH - Programme for research technological development and demonstration on "Competitive and sustainable growth 1998-2002" Topic(s) 1.1.3.-5. - RTD Activities of a Generic Nature : materials and their technologies for production and transformation and new and improved materials and production technologies in the steel field Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator INTERUNIVERSITAIR MIKRO-ELEKTRONICA CENTRUM VZW EU contribution No data Address Kapeldreef 75 3001 HEVERLEE Belgium See on map Total cost No data Participants (15) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE France EU contribution No data Address Rue de la Physique 145 Université Grenoble 1 E45 38402 SAINT-MARTIN-D'HERES See on map Total cost No data FOUNDATION OF RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY - HELLAS Greece EU contribution No data Address Vasilika Vouton 71110 IRAKLION See on map Total cost No data Heriot-Watt University United Kingdom EU contribution No data Address Riccarton EH14 4AS Edinburgh See on map Total cost No data IMPERIAL COLLEGE OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICINE United Kingdom EU contribution No data Address Prince Consort Road SW7 2BZ LONDON See on map Total cost No data INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS - POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES Poland EU contribution No data Address 32/46,Al.
