Project:   PARNASS - Parallel Nano-Assembling Directed by Short-Range Field Forces
Senior researcher:   Håkan Petterssonexternal link
Partners:   Division of Solid State Physics, Lund University
Short information:   Our goal is to find an efficient way to fabricate large volumes of hybrid nanoelectronic devices. This is a challenging physical and engineering problem demanding extremely high accuracy over a large area. Efficiency demands that the devices to a large degree assemble themselves, and the project’s primary aims are to provide a detailed practical and theoretical understanding of the forces acting on particles at the nanometer length scale and to develop a technology that uses those forces to direct the self-assembly of nanoparticles into useful configurations
     
Project:   FUTURE IR DETECTORS
Senior researcher:   Håkan Petterssonexternal link
Partners:   Acreo AB, Kista, Sweden, Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM), Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden and Solid State Physics/Nanometer Structure Consortium, Lund University, Lund, Sweden
Short information:   There is a growing market for cameras that detect infrared radiation, with applications in night vision, space, surveillance, search and rescue and medical diagnosis. More stringent requirements for the cameras, such as higher operating temperature, create a demand for detectors that use more advanced materials. One interesting candidate is Quantum Dot Infra-red Photodetectors (QDIPs)
     
Project:   NANOSCALED SPINTRONICS
Senior researcher:   Håkan Petterssonexternal link
Partners:   Solid State Physics/ the Nanometer Structure Consortium, Lund University and Dept of Chemistry and Biomedical Sciences, Kalmar University
Short information:   Spintronics has attracted considerably interest in recent decades due to its widespread use in sensor and memory applications. Our research project focuses on fabricating spintronic nanodevices as well as studying fundamental spin phenomena in these devices.
