The proposed Mini-colloquium will focus on transport of electronic degrees of freedom beyond charge, including spin and pseudospin, in quantum wires and low-dimensional structures where the geometric shape can play a fundamental role in dynamics and interferometry. This includes nanostructured circuits and devices based on semiconducting, superconducting, magnetic and topological materials, together with buckled graphene and other low-dimensional materials.

Relevant topical areas:

- Spin-orbitronics.

- Topological spintronics.

- Aharonov-Bohm/Casher/Anandan phases.

- Berry curvature, pseudomagnetic fields and geometric phases.

- Three-dimensional nanomagnetism

- Nanostructures, devices and applications.
