| Abstract | Quantum Dots are man-made artificial atoms that confine electrons to a small space. As such they have atomic-like behavior and enable the study of quantum mechanical effects on a length scale that is around 100 times larger than the pure atomic scale. Quantum dots offer application opportunities in optical sensors, lasers, and advanced electronic devices for memory and logic. This seminar starts with an overview of wavelike and particle like properties and motivates the existence of quantum mechanics. It closes the quantum mechanics point of view with these new fascinating artificial atoms. |
| Biography | Gerhard Klimeck is the Technical Director of the Network for Computational Nanotechnology at Purdue University and a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering since Dec. 2003. He was the Technical Group Supervisor for the Applied Cluster Computing Technologies Group at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. His research interest is in the modeling of nanoelectronic devices, parallel cluster computing, genetic algorithms, and parallel image processing. Gerhard developed the Nanoelectronic Modeling tool (NEMO 3-D) for multimillion atom simulations and continues to expand NEMO 1-D. Previously he was a member of technical staff at the Central Research Lab of Texas Instruments where he served as manager and principal architect of the Nanoelectronic Modeling (NEMO 1-D) program. Dr. Klimeck received his Ph.D. in 1994 from Purdue University and his German electrical engineering degree in 1990 from Ruhr-University Bochum. Dr. Klimeck's work is documented in over 130 peer-reviewed publications and over 200 conference presentations. He is a senior member of IEEE and member of APS, HKN and TBP.

Finally, I can grasp the visual image of Qdots with the visualisation of the simulation result.

This was a pretty fascinating presentation. Quantum mechanics and its effects on nanoscale systems is a huge research interest for me, so I was glad to find a presentation that not only discusses particle-wave duality and nanostructures but also gives a lengthy discussion on very real, current research in quantum mechanics. The section on quantum dots seemed short, but the research section supplements it nicely. The subject matter is complex, but the presenter’s light-hearted attitude (the pain pointer, “Quantum WHAT?�, etc.) makes it all go down smooth and makes the viewer both not feel bad for falling behind and feel encouraged to go back and try to understand. Usually I try to be critical when I write these comments, but I have nothing to add or complain about – a fascinating topic strongly backed up by clear slides and audio delivered by a speaker who is clearly comfortable with and knowledgeable in the subject matter. I hope to find more information on NEMO as I explore more of the Nanohub website – it sounds like a very promising program.

A rather easy to understand review of history of quantum theory, and q dots. I finally understood what baffled me in undergrad years almost 24 years ago. Thank you.
