Introduction

In the nanophysics group we do research, both theoretical and experimental, various systems on the nanometer scale.  Our research interests include fabrication and growth of semiconductor samples, vacuum electronics based on semiconductor microstructures, spin and charge transports in semiconductor heterostructures and photonics and hyperfine interaction in semiconductor nanostructures.
