This text treats electronic transport in the regime where conventional textbook models are no longer applicable, including the effect of electronic phase coherence, energy quantization and single-electron charging. This second edition is completely updated and expanded, and now comprises new chapters on spin electronics and quantum information processing, transport in inhomogeneous magnetic fields, organic/molecular electronics, and applications of field effect transistors. The book also provides an overview of semiconductor processing technologies and experimental techniques. With a number of examples and problems with solutions, this is an ideal introduction for students and beginning researchers in the field. "This book is a useful tool, too, for the experienced researcher to get a summary of recent developments in solid state nanostructures. I applaud the author for a marvellous contribution to the scientific community of mesoscopic electronics." Prof. K. Ensslin, Solid State Physics Laboratory, ETH Zurich

This updated and expanded third edition of this successful work includes a new, comprehensive introduction to the recursive Green's function technique applied to model solid state nanostructures. From the contents:* An Update of Solid State Physics* Surfaces, Interfaces, and Layered Devices* Experimental Techniques* Important Quantities in Mesoscopic Transport* Magnetotransport Properties of Quantum Films* Quantum Wires and Quantum Point Contacts* Theory of Ballistic Transport* Electronic Phase Coherence* Single Electron Tunneling* Quantum Dots* Mesoscopic Superlattices* SpintronicsFocusing on the physical background as well as on technical details of the technology, this is a must-have textbook for beginners in the field.
