Research
Spin Physics
Spin Physics The spin degree of freedom can be harnessed for radically new ways of information processing and communication within a robust and scalable solid-state framework. Semiconductors have attracted a great deal of attention, because of prospects of implementing quantum spin manipulation with mature microelectronics technology. Devices that enable electrical control of the spin degree…
Heteroepitaxial architectures
Heteroepitaxial architectures Aim of this research is the achievement of bandgap and strain engineering in Si-based heterostructures. Epitaxial architectures based on Ge and III-V materials have been addressed in detail to obtain quantitative insight into fundamental phenomena, namely quantum confinement and strain relaxation in low dimensional systems. Within this framework, we chiefly focused investigations on…
