Proceedings of the Tenth International Winterschool on New Developments in Solid State Physics 'New Frontiers in Low-Dimensional Physics,' Held in Mauterndorf, Austria, on 23-27 February 1998

摘要

These Proceedings contain the invited talks which were presented at the 10th International Winterschool on New Developments in Solid State Physics 'New Frontiers in Low-Dimensional Physics', held at the Mauterndorf Castle, Mauterndorf, Salzburg, Austria. The major theme of this Meeting was, like that of its predecessors, most recent developments in the field of the growth, characterization, electronic, optical, acoustic and magnetic properties of low- dimensional systems, including also general aspects like the impact of nanostructure research on conventional Solid State Electronics. Topics which were presented included mechanisms of self organized growth of wire and dot structures, cleave edge overgrowth for the fabrication of atomically precise quantum dots, ground and excited states in quantum dots, spectroscopical investigations of dots, quantum dot lasers, quantum transport in dots. Corrections due to electron-electron interaction to the transport in disordered conductors were treated theoretically and the recently observed metal-to- insulator transition in two-dimensional systems was presented both with its implications for the scaling theory as well as in the light of new experimental results.
