Probing the effect of Time Reversal Symmetry breaking by the application of a local magnetic field in topological insulators (MAGNETOP)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Electronic states that could propagate long distances without power dissipation and with spin coherence (i.e. without losing information about their spin state) would be desirable for the design of energy efficient electronic devices and to make reality theoretical proposals of quantum computation devices. Topological insulators are recently discovered materials that may potentially offer these fo ...

Quantum optics in nanostructures (OptNano)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

Nanomaterials are intriguing structures for quantum optics. Their color depends on their size and shape; they are very selective in the wavelengths they absorb and emit. Although nanostructures have been used to color windows and surfaces since the Middle Ages, we lack the understanding how size, shape, and microscopic structure control the optical properties of nanomaterials. In this project, we ...
