Transport in Nanostructures (Cambridge Studies in Semiconductor Physics and Microelectronic Engineering)

Review
"...this book is currently the most accurate review on mesoscopic semiconductors. The book can serve as a good reference that contains all the basics--not only for students but also for rusty researchers." Science


Book Description
Transport in Nanostructures reviews the results of experimental research into mesoscopic devices, and develops a detailed theoretical framework for understanding their behavior. The authors discuss the key observable phenomena in nanostructures, including phase interference and weak localization. They then describe quantum confined systems, transmission in nanostructures, quantum dots and single electron phenomena. Separate chapters cover interference in diffusive transport and temperature decay of fluctuations, and a chapter on nonequilibrium transport and nanodevices concludes the book. Throughout, Ferry and Goodnick interweave experimental results with the appropriate theoretical formalism. Profusely illustrated, the book will be of great interest to graduate students taking courses in mesoscopic physics or nanoelectronics, as well as to researchers working on semiconductor nanostructures or the development of new ultrasmall devices.

The advent of semiconductor structures whose characteristic dimensions are smaller than the mean free path of carriers has led to the development of novel devices and given rise to many advances in our theoretical understanding of these mesoscopic systems or nanostructures. This book reviews the results of experimental research into mesoscopic devices, and develops a detailed theoretical framework for understanding their behavior. The book will be of great interest to graduate students taking courses in mesoscopic physics or nanoelectronics, as well as to anyone working on semiconductor nanostructures or the development of new ultrasmall devices.
