Resaerch Investigation Directed Toward Extending the Useful Range of the Electromagnetic Spectrum

Abstract

Experiments are described that have the goal of understanding the basic physics of quantum confined electronics. In the first experiment new fabrication processes for making GaSb-based quantum dots have been examined. The scientific goal of this work is to develop methods to realize damage free etching of the dots. In the second experiment stepped metal surfaces have been used to measure the scattering cross-sections of electrons at simple features, such as used in quantum corrals.
