The network is aiming at increasing collaboration in the field of physical phenomena related to quantum dot (QD) and nano scale physics. The bulk part of the groups are devoted to theoretical research - first principles electron structure calculations, reactivity of QD:s and nano structures on surfaces, transport properties of QD, correlation effects and magnetic properties of QD. The experimental Scanning tunneling microscopy group in Aarhus is world leading in its field and applies advanced tools for detailed studies of nano structures on surfaces.
The network will work on strengthen the already existing collaborations between some of the participating groups and make possible formation of new projects. The focus is on improving the scientific environment of the PhD students, realized by financing inter-group trips for the students, organizing workshops and a summer school.
The major events are:
- Workshop at Hjortviken near Göteborg, Sweden 1-4 of June 2004
- Workshop in Jyväskylä in Finland 24-26 October 2005
- Summer school “Surface Reactivity and Nano Catalysis” , June 11-16 , 2006 at Fuglsocentret, Ebeltoft, Denmark.
- Workshop in Lofoten in Norway 15-19 August 2006.
