Projects 2002/2002 on Mesoscopic Devices

Oslo group: Yuri Galperin, Dragos-Viktor Angel, Joakim Bergli

The group is involved in several projects in Mesoscopic Physics. The main research topics are:

• Two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG)
  AC hopping conductance under integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE)
  Acoustic response of composite fermions under fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE)
  Dephasing of weak localization due to dynamic defects
  
  
• Quantum wires and point contacts
  Acoustoelectric effect in ballistic channels: average current and noise
  Non-equilibrium phenomena in diffusive wires
  
  
• Nano-electromechanical systems
  Coherent shuttling of Cooper pairs due to a movable superconducting grain
  DC Josephson effect
  Creation of phase coherence between superconducting leads
  Decoherence due to interaction with environment
  
  
• Mesoscopic detectors and related problems
  Mesoscopic photon detectors
  NIS thermometers
  NIS coolers
  
  
• Miscellaneous
  Kondo Temperature for the Two-Channel Kondo Models of Tunneling Centers
  Mesoscopic effects in vortex media of type II superconductors
  Systems with fractional statistics
