Abstract:
The use of nontrivial geometry and topology for effective tailoring physical properties of
diversified quantum fields in novel micro
-
and
nanostructures is one of the most appealing
avenues in modern nanophysics and nanotechnologies [1]. Analysis of topologically nontrivial
manifolds at the nanoscale is of immense importance
for semiconductor, superconductor
,
and
graphene physics as well as
for optics, magnetism
,
and quantum computing. The highly
diversified investigations underpin development of pro

and related nanoarchitectures.
