Scientific output

Main scientific achievements (outline):

  • Kondo effect in quantum dots: discovery of an integer-spin Kondo effect, measurement of the Kondo effect in the unitary limit, spectroscopy of a Kondo resonance out of equilibrium, observation of an orbital Kondo effect, observation of a two-stage Kondo effect. These key contributions, together with the earliest achievements on the superconducting proximity effect (see just below), have been acknowledged with the European Kurti Prize 2005 (see details in “Honours and Awards”).   
  • Superconducting proximity effect in semiconductor nanowires: first nanowire-based Josephson field-effect transistor, demonstration of a quantum-dot Josephson p-junction in a nanowire-based SQUID device, study of the competition between Kondo and superconducting correlations, first observation of spin-resolved Andreev levels in a quantum dot coupled to a superconducting electrode. The first experimental achievements in this area have inspired recent research proposals suggesting the possibility to create and observe Majorana-fermion quasiparticles in a low-band-gap semiconductor nanowire coupled to a superconducting electrode.
  • SiGe nanocrystals for quantum spintronics: first quantum-dot devices based on single SiGe self-assembled nanocrystals, study and control of hole g-factors and spin-orbit effects, discovery of a new mechanism for spin-selective tunnelling
  • Single dopants in silicon nanoMOSFETs: observation of photon-assisted coherent tunnelling between two nearby donor atoms.
