Abstract
Quantum phenomena dominate the electrical and optical measurements on microstructured semiconductors as a result of the drastically changed density of states in low-dimensional systems and the importance of the wavenature of the electrons. Tunnelling phenomena and quantum states in 2-, 1-, and 0-dimensional systems form the basis for new quantum devices. Experimental results will be presented which demonstrate that one-dimensional edge channels are important for an interpretation of the quantum Hall effect.
