IRG III: Electrons in Confined Geometries @ Pennsylvania State University
Research Fields: | Condensed Matter Phenomena | Magnetics / Ferroelectrics / Spintronics | Nano Focused | Nanostructures / Nanoparticles |
The research themes of IRG3 focus on the electronic properties of confined systems. Ongoing projects include the study of superconducting and semiconducting nanowires, ferroelectric thin films and a new effort on graphene sheets. These activities are complemented by a synthetic effort in low dimensional nanostructures. This has been a productive year for this IRG with a large number of publications including cover page articles in Nature and in Small.
