It was the night of the 4th to the 5th of February 1980 at around 2 a.m. during an experiment at the High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Grenoble. The research topic included the characterization of the electronic transport of silicon field effect transistors. How can one improve the mobility of these devices? Which scattering processes (surface roughness, interface charges, impurities etc.) dominate the motion of the electrons in the very thin layer of only a few nanometers at the interface between silicon and silicon dioxide? For this research, Dr. Dorda (Siemens AG) and Dr. Pepper (Plessey Company) provided specially designed devices (Hall devices) as shown in Fig.1, which allow direct measurements of the resistivity tensor. Figure 1: Typical silicon MOSFET device used for measurements of the xx- and xy-components of the resistivity tensor. For a fixed source-drain current between the contacts S and D, the potential drops between the probes P − P and H − H are directly proportional to the resistivities ρxx and ρxy. A positive gate voltage increases the carrier density below the gate. For the experiments, low temperatures (typically 4.2 K) were used in order to suppress dis- turbing scattering processes originating from electron-phonon interactions.

  • I Was Lucky Enough to Take Part in a Scientific Conference That Took Place in the Small Bavarian Town of Lindau
    I was lucky enough to take part in a scientific conference that took place in the small Bavarian town of Lindau. At first glance it was an ordinary conference with lots of scientific presentations, one poster session and coffee breaks. However, something was different. All the presentations were given by Nobel laureates. Moreover, there was an opportunity to talk to them and other young researchers coming from different countries in an informal atmosphere during coffee breaks, lunches, dinners and various get-together events. Lindau meetings have a long tradition and history. The idea of this annual event belongs to two physicians from Lindau, Gustav Wilhelm Parade and Franz Karl Hein. The first meeting was organized shortly after World War II in 1951 with the support of Count Lennart Bernadotte, who had connections with the Stockholm Nobel Foundation. As German science was isolated at that time, it was absolutely necessary to create new networks and internationalize the conference. Those three persons succeeded in establishing an important meeting to connect Nobel laureates and young researchers from all over the world to foster scientific exchange between different generations. Since 1951, Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings brought together 373 Nobelists and 30000 young scientists from 91 countries. Annual Lindau Meetings are dedicated alternately to three natural science Nobel Prize disciplines: Medicine or Physiology, Physics and Chemistry. Also interdisciplinary meetings revolving around those three are occurring every 5 years. This year I participated in the 66th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting, held from 26 June to 1 July, that was dedicated to the field of physics. Undoubtedly, this conference was the most unusual conference I have ever been to.
