Mesoscopic electronics in solid state nanostructures

This text treats electronic transport in the regime where conventional textbook models are no longer applicable, including the effect of electronic phase coherence, energy quantization and single-electron charging. 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 also for the experienced researcher to get a summary about recent developments in solid state nanostructures. I applaud the author for a marvelous contribution to the scientific community of mesoscopic electronics."Prof. K. Ensslin, Solid State Physics Laboratory, ETH Zurich
