Project overview
The project combines efforts, which aim at the increase of scientific expertise and high-level of research within the field of semiconductor physics and technology for next generation of quantum devices. More precisely the information processing will need in the future semiconductor nanostructures based on new concepts such as quantum optics and spintronics, which involve combination of new materials, optical properties and magnetic behavior. This will require a combined expertise in the different fields of material science, epitaxial growth, structural characterizations, optical spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements. The host institution is a well-recognized university-based institution with a well-documented skills in semiconductor physics. The expertise of scientists at the host covers such topics as: nanostructures, magnetic semiconductors and blue optoelectronics. The knowledge is disseminated through existing curricula of graduate and post-graduate studies at the Warsaw University. Despite the existing experience in the area, a new momentum is necessary to maintain a high-level of research at the host institution and to face a strong international competition. This can be done by an extension of the host expertise towards new fields of the semiconductor physics and by combination of the existing competence with the new knowledge, which can be acquired during the lifetime of the project.
