Quantum Materials Lateral Semiconductor Nanostructures Hybrid Systems and Nanocrystals : Lateral Semiconductor Nanostructures Hybrid Systems and Nanocrystals Semiconductor nanostructures are ideal systems to tailor the physical properties via quantum effects utilizing special growth techniques self assembling wet chemical processes or lithographic tools in combination with tuneable external electric and magnetic fields. Such systems are called Quantum Materials. The electronic photonic and phononic properties of these systems are governed by size quantization and discrete energy levels. The charging is controlled by the Coulomb blockade. The spin can be manipulated by the geometrical structure external gates and by integrating hybrid ferrom
