Formation And Device Applications Of Compound Semiconductor Quantum Nanostructures

The so-called nanotechnology has recently made a great progress. Thus, the possibilities of constructing novel quantum electronic devices consisting artificial quantum structures such as quantum wells, wires, dots and single and multiple tunneling barriers, have become realistic. In this talk, the present status and key issues of research on the formation and device applications of compound semiconductor quantum nanostructures are presented and discussed, introducing recent results obtained by the author's group at RCIQE.
