Research Interests

Fundamentally new behavior has been documented in recent years in electronic systems showing strong correlation and extreme confinement. The condensed matter theory group led by Prof. Jankó is actively participating in several major developments of this field, such as (i) spin control, manipulation and transport (spintronics), (ii) nanoscale superconductivity and magnetism in metallic and semiconductor quantum dots and quantum wires, and (iii) novel superconductivity (MgB₂, high temperature superconductors) and magnetism (diluted magnetic semiconductors).
