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.

quantum phenomena are arising in small devices,

This review is from: Transport in Nanostructures (Cambridge Studies in Semiconductor Physics and Microelectronic Engineering) (Paperback)
As device sizes shrink on chips, earlier assumptions made in modelling electron and hole transport are starting to break down. Ferry explores the many consequences of this. Now that we can use lithography and associated techniques to make devices less than 0.1 micron, quantum effects can arise.These might include a two dimensional electron gas, where one spatial dimension is essentially suppressed by the heterostructure. Perhaps under the gate of an experimental transistor. Other contexts might be fluctuations in the atomic distribution seen by a transport electron or hole. This might importantly include fluctuations in how dopants are arranged. Leading to regions of differing conductance. Ferry investigates these and other phenomena like quantum wires and dots, at a level well placed for the graduate student or researcher.
