Electron Transport in Quantum Dots

Electron Transport in Quantum Dots is a timely review covering topics such as the Kondo effect and spin-dependent transport in tunnel coupled dots, quantum chaos in open quantum dots and antidot arrays, and explorations of the novel technological applications of quantum dots and carbon nanotubes. It is unique in that it: - Brings together contributions from some of the most widely-recognized experts in this important field of research; -Provides the most comprehensive, yet wide-ranging, review of this important field to date; - Features a self-contained format that should make it a useful text for introductory graduate studies of this important field. This book will be of interest to researchers, university faculty, and graduate students in physics and electrical engineering, particularly those who are engaged in research into the fundamental properties, and technological applications, of nanostructures and nanoelectronic devices.
