ULTI - Transnational Access to Research Infrastructure 2004-2008
(EU contract # RITA-CT-2003-505313)
The new ULTI visitors program has been approved in FP6 of the European Commision, under the auspices of Structuring-the-ERA program. During the time period of 1.4. 2004 - 31.3. 2008, this Ultra Low Temperature Installation, located in the Low Temperature Laboratory, will offer research and training opportunities for 92 person months in total. Citizens of all EU countries and of Bulgaria, Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein, Norway and Romania are eligible to apply.
The object of the programme is to provide equipment, expertise, and training in studies on low temperature physics and/or quantum electron transport. Both in-house research projects and joint collaborations are carried out. Suggestions for new research initiatives are invited.
Versatile high quality equipment is available both in low temperature refrigeration and in preparation of nanosize samples. The low temperature techniques cover liquid 3He-4He dilution refrigeration and nuclear adiabatic demagnetization cooling, combined with high sensitivity measuring techniques. Modern electron beam lithography is available for sample preparation in nanoelectronics. The trained staff of the Laboratory will participate and assist in experiments and their analysis.
