Quantum Transport in Nanostructures and Molecules - An introduction to molecular electronics

This reference text presents a conceptual framework for understanding room-temperature electron and phonon transport through molecules and other quantum objects. The flow of electricity through molecules is explained at the boundary of physics and chemistry, providing a pedagogical account of quantum transport and thermoelectricity in molecular-scale and nanoscale structures.
