Ongoing developments in nanofabrication technology and the availability of novel materials have led to the emergence and evolution of new topics for mesoscopic

Advances in semiconductor technology have made possible the fabrication of structures whose dimensions are much smaller than the mean free path of an electron.

Mesoscopic physics deals with systems larger than single atoms but small enough to retain their quantum properties. The possibility to create and manipulate con

This book introduces researchers and students to the physical principles which govern the operation of solid-state devices whose overall length is smaller than

Semiconductor technology has developed considerably during the past several decades. The exponential growth in microelectronic processing power has been achieve
