Low-dimensional electron systems in a perpendicular magnetic field

Low-dimensional electron systems in a perpendicular magnetic field Low-field Quenching of the Hall effect around zero magnetic field The Aharonov-Bohm effect High-field Quenching of the quantum Hall effect at high magnetic fields Edge states in the integer and fractional quantum Hall effects...

Antidots

Antidots List of publications . In a moderate or high magnetic field, electrons are confined to the edges of a sample, in edge states, one for each Landau level. We have developed techniques for fabricating a pair of constrictions on either side of a separately-contacted 0.3 micron diameter disc-...

Surface Acoustic Waves (SAWs)

Surface Acoustic Waves (SAWs) Introduction SAW transducers Wafers References Introduction List of publications . Surface-acoustic waves (SAWs) are sound waves that travel parallel to the surface of an elastic material, with their displacement amplitude decaying into the material so that they are...
