Functional Nano-spin Research Team
The aim of this team is to control electrons, spins and nuclear spins on the single electron level in designed nanoscale devices, for the realization of nanoelectronics, such as single-electronics and quantum computing. To do this, we fabricate the nanodevices in a contolled manner in combination with top-down and bottom-up nanotechnologies, and study basic physics in the nanostructures and explore new functionalities for nanodevices.
- Fabrication of nanostructures with a sub-10nm scale by using carbon nanotubes and semiconductor nanowires, and their integration
- Control of single electron, single spin and nuclear spins in quantum dots
- Control of single electron on liquid He surface
