Quantum Transport in Matter
The chair of Quantum Transport in Matter, headed by prof. Alexander Brinkman, is part of the MESA+ Institute of Nanotechnology and the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Twente. The research addresses quantum aspects of electronic transport in novel materials and devices. Examples of quantum phenomena of interest are entanglement and teleportation. Materials under study are correlated electron systems such as superconductors, oxides and their interfaces, and topological insulators. |

Topological insulators have, contrary to their name, current carrying surfaces states. These surface states are helical, i.e. spin and momentum are closely connected. Coupling topological insulators to superconductors provides a rich playground to hunt for the Majorana fermion, a fermionic particle that is its own anti-particle. ... read more |

Electronic reconstruction at oxide interfaces The prime goal of this FOM programme is to create, investigate and control novel electronic and magnetic phases, arising from electronic and orbital reconstruction at hetero-interfaces in complex oxides. ... read more |
