Quantum transport in focus

Objective

The ERG will enable me to establish a research unit at the Slovak University of Technology that will capitalise on my previous postdoctoral research experience from the NANOPHASE Marie Curie RTN. This transfer of expertise, together with the active researc h along the scientific objectives of this proposal, and my international collaborative activities, will guarantee me long term employment at the host institution and successful career development within European science. The scientific objective of my prop osal is to achieve deeper understanding of the fundamental physical processes underlining the presently rapidly growing field of molecular electronics and nanotechnology. Specifically, my attention is focused on the flow of electric current. As a result of the proposed work I will be able to(l Quantitatively describe the electronic structure of a real molecular device with accurate account for electron-electron interactions, (2) formulate and perform calculation of the conductance for interacting model elec tronic systems and (3) describe devices carrying current, far from equilibrium, using a novel technique based on maximum entropy principle. A substantial part of the proposed research is a joint collaboration with several nodes of the NANOPHASE RTN. At the same time it covers new collaborations with national research groups as well. As such, it is a research proposal, fully integrated into the growing European Research Area and directly contributing to its further development.
