Researching a variety of complex systems from an ab initio standpoint. Most of the investigations fall into the broad categories of photonic crystals and optics (photons) or atomic systems and electronic structure (atoms). Headed by Prof. J. D. Joannopoulos
The neutron scattering facilities of the high flux research reactor are available for outside users on problems of scientific merit. Although the main purpose of the HFIR is to produce transplutonium elements for use in industry, medicine and research, the reactor's extremely high flux also makes it a source of neutrons for condensed matter investigations.
Part of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, the group works on disordered structures, topological defects in solids, carbon nanostructures, biophysics, quasicrystals, glasses, amorphous solids, Josephson junctions and granular superconductors
Chair of Solid State Physics at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany. Investigates the structural and electronic properties of surfaces with methods like Two-Photon Photoemission Spectroscopy (2PPE), Scanning Tunneling Microscpy (STM) and Low-Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED).
Our research focuses on the electronic, spin-related and luminescence properties of nanoscale objects such as metallic nanostructures, single molecules and atoms, quantum point contacts. Scanning-probe techniques are employed for this purpose, notably STM.
The NANO-PHYSICS group at ETH Zürich focuses on the preparation of ultra-small semiconductor structures with the aim to investigate experimentally new, unusual and unexpected physical systems at the crossover between classical physics and quantum physics.
The group pursues the innovative development of hybrid devices by combining different types of micro/nanostructures such as low-dimensional semiconductor structures, superconducting circuits, and micro/nanomechanical systems.
