Mesoscopic Electronics In Solid State Nanostructures Second Edition Prof Dr Thomas Heinzelauth by Prof. Dr. Thomas Heinzel(auth.) 9783527406388, 9783527618910, 3527406387, 3527618910 instant download after payment.

This text treats electronic transport in the regime where conventional textbook models are no longer applicable, including the effect of electronic phase coherence, energy quantization and single-electron charging.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
