Nanophysics and technology

Welcome to the Nanotechnology Centre At Royal Holloway

The Nanophysics and Nanotechnology group has expertise in the design, fabrication and measurement of nanostructures; this experience is matched by processing| (lithography, deposition etc. in our clean rooms) and low temperature (down to 10 mK) measurement facilities. In the group we have developed techniques to reliably fabricate small feature sizes in increasingly complex materials (both metals and semiconductors) in order to explore quantum effects at submicron length scales. These quantum phenomena are of interest in their own right, but could also have application in the electronic and optical devices of the future, which may exploit the wavefunction and spin of the electron.
