NordForsk Network on Mesoscopic Solid State and Molecular Electronics
Background information:
Relatively recently, a new field, mesoscopic physics, has emerged. The word mesoscopic originates from mesos, meaning something in between. Small systems whose dimensions are intermediate between the microscopic and the macroscopic are called mesoscopic. Developments in nano-technology make it possible to realize electronics circuits that are as small as 10 nm. In order to incorporate these systems into modern technologies, it is necessary to understand the physical properties via fundamental research. More ...
