Zusatztext The book has a didactic structure of advanced level fit for the level of doctor degree studies. The mathematic treatment is rigorous and extensive, the level being that of an advanced course in the field of phenomena of quantum transoprtation which is the basis of nanoelectronics. Informationen zum Autor Professor Thomas Ihn took his PhD in Physics in 1994 at TU Munich, Germany, then did post-doctoral work at the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Nottingham. He began work as a Research Assistant at the Solid State Physics Laboratory, ETH Zurich, in 1998, and is now Professor of Physics there. Klappentext This textbook is a thorough introduction to the physics of semiconductor nanostructures and their transport properties. Graduate or PhD students who are interested in the field will be guided from their previous basic knowledge in solid state physics to state-of-the-art experiments. Lecturers and researchers will find it a useful reference. Zusammenfassung This textbook is a thorough introduction to the physics of semiconductor nanostructures and their transport properties.
