JSPS-NSFC-KOSEF A3 Foresight Program
Sub-10 nm Wires; New Physics and Chemistry


Project Scope
The study of localized electrical transport and the nature of the quantum states in sub-10 nm nano-wires are of great scientific and technological interest.We propose to use the scanning-tunneling microscopy (STM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), electron microscopy (TEM, SEM), and photoemission spectroscopy (PES) to study physical and chemical properties of sub-10 nm wires. Atom/molecular chains, silicide wires, carbon nanotubes and patterned metal/semiconducting wires will be synthesized for these studies. Since the researchers in this proposal have solid track records, we expect that new physics and chemistry can be attained in this field. In the course of this collaboration, we intend to exchange researchers, share samples, and mutually use experimental facilities. We will share the progresses and plan to open regular symposia.Many scientists believe that new findings in nano-wires will bring forth breakthroughs in nano-devices, together we will set up scientific grounds for the goal.
