DESCRIPTION:We study the quantum mechanical behavior of individual electro
 n\, hole and nuclear spins in silicon. Control and manipulation of the cor
 responding spin states can lead to applications in quantum computation. To
  this end we isolate electrons or holes on (artificial) atoms through spat
 ial and electrostatic confinement. In our experiments we perform a.o. ener
 gy- and magnetic spectroscopy in electron transport measurements at low te
 mperatures. In my talk I will first of all present results on quantum dots
  (a.k.a. artificial atoms) in Ge/Si core/shell nanowires: a germanium core
  wrapped in a silicon shell. Secondly\, we have used silicon nanoMOSFETs t
 o reach single-electron occupation in a quantum dot\, to create bipolar qu
 antum dots and to read out and rotate the spin of a single electron bound 
 to a phosphorus donor.
