Electrical Transport In Nanoscale Systems

摘要: In recent years there has been a huge increase in the research and development of nanoscale science technology. Central to understanding properties structures is modeling electronic conduction through these systems. This graduate textbook provides an in-depth description transport phenomena relevant systems dimensions. this different theoretical approaches are critically discussed, with emphasis on their basic assumptions approximations. The book also covers information content measurement currents, role initial conditions establishing steady state, modern use density-functional theory. Topics introduced by simple physical arguments, particular attention non-equilibrium statistical nature electrical conduction, followed detailed formal derivation. ideal for students physics, chemistry, engineering.
