DAFNEOX

The aim of this project is to develop new inexpensive, scalable and efficient bottom –up approach for positioning nanoobjects in regular patterns and to imlement them in optoelectronic technology, which is the major challenge in nanotechnology today. The synergy between the quasi zero-dimensional elements and functional oxides with an exceptional range of properties (encompassing ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, semiconducting and metallic behaviour) opens a completely new concept to nanoelectronics.
