Inhalt:
Quantum confinement of the electronic states makes semiconductor nanostructures fundamental for modern electronics including computing circuits, sensors, memories, photovoltaic, light emitters and detection devices.
This seminar will provide a summary of the state-of-the-art of fabrication methods and characterization techniques for the study of semiconductor nanostructures. A particular focus will be given to the electrical and optical measurements of novel device concepts for exploring the quantum properties of nanoscale materials such as quantum dots, nanowires, 2D materials and more.
Specific examples include epitaxial growth of nanostructures, scanning probe microscopies for nanoscale imaging and spectroscopy, and flexible optoelectronic devices.
The ultimate scope of the seminar is to acquaint the students with the continuously expanding area of nanofabrication and nanoanalytics in current solid-state physics.
Examples topics will include:
- Epitaxial growth of nanostructures
- Scanning probe microscopies for nanoscale imaging and spectroscopy
- Single photon transistors
- Flexible optoelectronic devices
- Photoluminescence spectroscopy of excitons
