Research highlights

Spin related mesoscopics

Spin related mesoscopics

*** Quantum mechanics of nanometer sized devices: using electron wave interference to manipulate electron motion.

*** Spintronics: taking advantage of the electron’s magnetic moment (spin), and not only of its charge, to store and read information. Possible applications in quantum computers.

*** Multiferroic materials are both magnetic and ferroelectric, and therefore can be manipulated by both electric and magnetic fields.
