287. WE-Heraeus-SeminarQuantum Transport through Nano-Wires,Point Contacts, and near Interfaces
|
|
Date: 21-24 October 2002
Location:
Physikzentrum Bad Honnef
Organizers: Günter Dumpich, Ulrich Eckern, Peter Schwab
(1) point contacts
[e.g. transport through quantum dots or through organic molecules,
new experimental techniques (AFM, 4-point measurements)]
(2) one-dimensional systems
[Luttinger liquids, quantum wires, spin chains, carbon nanotubes;
e.g. effect of impurities, shot noise, Kondo effect]
(3) surfaces, interfaces
[e.g. d-wave superconductors near surfaces, Kondo impurities in
high-temperature superconductors, superconductor/semiconductor-antidot
interfaces, electrons on He surfaces, vortices]
During the seminar, lively discussions between participants - about topics ranging from basic questions of quantum transport to aspects of technological applications - will be strongly encouraged. Ample time will be reserved for a poster presentation, to which every participant is invited to contribute.
