Head of the BIU Physics Department

Aviad Frydman's research group focuses on the electronic properties of low dimensional disordered systems.

Electrons in solids behave as quantum waves which may interact and interfere. The quantum electronic nature, which becomes important in reduced dimensionality and low temperatures, has a significant influence on properties such as electric conductivity, magneto-transport and density of states. Frydman's lab studies the interplay between geometry, dimensionality, disorder and electronic properties of solid state systems. Using advanced nano-fabrication techniques, high precision electric measurements and low temperature techniques they study the properties of different nano-systems such as ultrathin films, nanowires, granular films and quantum dots focusing on disordered metals, Superconductors and ferromagnets.
