Investigation, study and exploitation of new and exceptional electromechanical properties that arise in solid state artificial structures by the fact that their significant dimensions are in the nanometer scale. 

Scope & Mission

 The subject of this research sub-line is the investigation, study and exploitation of new and exceptional electromechanical (electrical, mechanical, and both) properties that arise in solid state artificial structures by the fact that their significant dimensions are in the nanometer scale. These nanostructures are obtained by using "so called" nanotechnological methods, so that research on advanced nanofabrication methods is an essential part of the activities. In the same way, development of specialized electromechanical characterization methods is of great interest within this research sub-line. However, the fundamental aim is to investigate on novel properties and methods with a potential to demonstrate novel functionalities and ultra-high performance of electromechanical devices and systems.
