Electronic Properties of Mesoscopic and Low-Dimensional Electron Systems
Electrical transport through single and coupled quantum dot systems (single-electron charging, Kondo physics) have been a long lasting topic. Furthermore, a scanning force microscope has been operated at 1.4 K to extract Hall potential profiles and current distributions in quantum Hall samples. Recently we have enhanced our abilities by a scanning probe microscope - operated below 0.1 K - using an array of single-electron transistors as probes. Being responsible for the Nanostructuring Lab of the institute, the fabrication of functional nanostructures for electronic, plasmonic or optical applications using state-of-the-art electron beam lithography became a major task.
