My previous NSERC Discovery Grant yielded exceptional progress in: (a) Making so-called semiconductor nanowire (NW) heterostructures (NWHs), with lengths/widths ~1/10th and ~1/1,000th of the thickness of a human hair (i.e., where the NW material changes along its length to another semiconductor, or where it is clad in a shell of another semiconductor). Such NWHs enable unprecedented control over where electrons reside; (b) Realising NWs from semiconductors which also showed magnetic properties, well above room temperature - an important precursor for so-called spintronics, where both electron charge and spin are used for information processing (IP); and (c) A first demonstration of a hybrid device mating a high temperature superconductor (HTSC) to a thin film semiconductor, showing, for the first time at elevated temperature, how so-called Cooper pairs could be efficiently injected into a thin film semiconductor, with promise for a future quantum computer.

我之前的 NSERC 发现补助金在以下方面取得了非凡的进展：(a) 制造所谓的半导体纳米线 (NW) 异质结构 (NWH)，其长度/宽度约为人类头发厚度的 1/10 和 1/1,000（即，NW 材料沿其长度变化为另一种半导体，或者它被包裹在另一种半导体的壳中）。这种 NWH 能够实现对电子驻留位置的前所未有的控制； (b) 从半导体中实现纳米线，该纳米线还表现出远高于室温的磁性，这是所谓自旋电子学的重要前身，其中电子电荷和自旋都用于信息处理（IP）； (c) 首次演示将高温超导体（HTSC）与薄膜半导体相结合的混合器件，首次展示了在高温下如何将所谓的库珀对有效地注入薄膜半导体中，这为未来的量子计算机带来了希望。
