Download or read book Physics of Zero- and One-Dimensional Nanoscopic Systems written by Sachindra Nath Karmakar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-09-04 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Submicron and nanoscale systems have risen on the research agenda. Exploiting the technological potential offered by these exotic materials requires a fundamental understanding of basic physical phenomena on the mesoscopic and nanoscopic scales. This book, written by leading experts in the field, covers such topics as the Kondo effect, electron transport, disorder and quantum coherence with electron-electron interaction, persistent current and thermoelectric phenomena, in quantum dots, quantum wires, carbon nanotubes and more.
