Correlated Nanoelectronics
Abstract
A new field of research is proposed: correlated nanoelectronics. By combining the paradigm of quantum transport in semiconductor nanostructures with the rich properties of complex-oxide materials, new families of nanoscale electronic devices will be created that controland exploit strong attractive electron interactions. The research, if successful, will lead to quantum-enabled nanoelectronics, a novel solid-state approach to quantum simulation, and the development of technologically important new materials by design.The proposed research will approach its goals from two directions. The first approach investigates the basic electron pairing mechanism in SrTiO3-based nanostructures, which provides the fundamental correlations to be used in devices. The second approach will explicitly develop a solid-state platform for quantum simulation~the first of its kind~using reconfigurable oxide nanoelectronics.
