This graduate textbook introduces the physics and applications of transport in mesoscopic devices and nanoscale electronic systems and devices. Fully updated and contains the latest research in the field, including nano-devices for qubits. Worked examples, problems, solutions and videos are provided to enhance understanding.

Semiconductorsform the basis for the nano-electronics industry that powers everyday life. This book covers the electronic bandstructure, the lattice dynamics and the transport properties ofsemiconductors, and is an essential guidefor first-year graduate level students.

This book is describes Wigner functions and its applications in various fields of science where it has been found to be very useful in wide range of modern disciplines, including quantum information, coherent optics, and superconducting qubits.

Modern electronics is being transformed as device size decreases to a size where the dimensions are significantly smaller than the constituent electron''s mean free path. In such systems the electron motion is strongly confined resulting in dramatic changes of behaviour compared to the bulk. This book introduces the physics and applications of transport in such mesoscopic and nanoscale electronic systems and devices. The behaviour of these novel devices is influenced by numerous effects not seen in bulk semiconductors, such as the Aharonov-Bohm Effect, disorder and localization, energy quantization, electron wave interference, spin splitting, tunnelling and the quantum hall effect to name a few. Including coverage of recent developments, and with a chapter on carbon-based nanoelectronics, this book will provide a good course text for advanced students or as a handy reference for researchers or those entering this interdisciplinary area.
