SUMMARY:Quantum Physics of Low Dimensional Systems - Sir Michael Pepper (U
 CL)
DTSTART:20151021T190000Z

UID:TALK61821@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Pascal Grobecker
DESCRIPTION:Use of semiconductor technology has allowed investigation of q
 uantum effects which occur when electrons are confined in dimensions less 
 than three. When the size of the system is less than the scattering mean f
 ree path  then wave function coherence dominates the transport properties 
 giving rise to macroscopic quantum phenomena such as the conductance takin
 g values ne2/h where n is an integer and e is the fundamental electron cha
 rge\, h is Planck's constant. This effect and a number of other quantum pr
 operties will be discussed.
