PV XV: Prize Talk

Thursday, April 3, 2014, 13:15–13:45, HSZ 01

Semiconductor Hetero-, Nano- and Quantum-Systems — •Gerhard Abstreiter — Walter Schottky Institut, Physik Department, and Institute for Advanced Study, TU München, 85748 Garching --- Laureate of the Stern-Gerlach-Medal

First I will present a brief historical overview about the development of semiconductor hetero-structures and their importance for device applications based on Ga(In)As/AlGaAs and Si/Ge materials systems. In a second part the electronic and optical properties of semiconductor quantum dots and hetero-nanowires will be discussed. This includes the electro/optical and coherent control of charges, spins, and excitons in In(Ga)As quantum dots as well as infrared optical properties of, and coherent emission from III-V based hetero-nanowires.
