Summary on Grant Application Form |
Electronic devices such as the Si MOSFET and heterostructure HEMT, which have been used to understand the physical properties of interacting many-particle systems for more than thirty years, are now being over-taken by a new generation of technological innovation which will allow unprecedented experimental access to basic quantum mechanical systems.This research proposal is a theoretical investigation into these technologies and is designed to make simultaneous progress on four new fronts:1. The development and exploitation of electronic devices in which a current of magnetisation is used to probe spin excitations in mesoscopic systems.2. The simulation and detailed understanding of electronic devices grown epitaxially with full three-dimensional control over patterning of deposited ionic species.3. The development and simulation of non-invasive probes to interacting many-particle systems.4. The development and simulation of electronic devices which will allow direct observation of exchange, correlation and non-Fermi-liquid behaviour in electron systems.
