International Conference on Nanoelectronics
Lancaster, 4-9 January 2003
Sponsored by European Science Foundation - STRUC XPk Programme RTN on "Computational Magnetoelectronics" CCP9 EPSRC Institute of Physics (Semiconductor Physics Group) NWDA Science Lancaster University
Organized by V.I. Fal'ko (Lancaster), C.J. Lambert (Lancaster), and W. Temmerman (Daresbury)
The conference brought together more than 200 researchers actively working in the rapidly developing areas of nanoelectronics, interface physics and nanostructured materials. 22 topical oral sessions and 86 presentations during the Poster session encompassed physics of nanoelectronic devices and materials interfaces; quantum transport and noise; spin-dependent transport and control; mesoscopic superconductors; proximity effects and hybrid structures; molecularscale electronics and atomic contacts; ab initio modelling of materials and interfaces; correlation effects in quantum dots (including Kondo effect), phase coherence effects in wires and rings. Special attention has been paid to the material science aspects of quantum manipulation and the physics of various solid state prototypes of qubits. More than 50 invited speakers represented internationally leading groups working at the forefront of research in all these areas of solid state physics.
