About this title

Review

'... I applaud Datta for giving us the first thorough introduction to the transmission formalism of quantum transport and its implications for mesoscopic systems. This is a highly intriguing topic which should be taught at universities. I can recommend the book as a basis for an introductory graduate course.' Physics Today

'In this beautifully presented book, Supriyo Datta describes the new understanding which has been gained in this field during the last decade. The book is a thought-provoking study of electron transport in small structures which will stimulate anyone who wants to think about what conductivity really is ... it starts right from the beginning of the story, assuming very little solid state physics, and thus will be appreciated by readers of differing backgrounds and experience.' S. J. Blundell, Contemporary Physics

Book Description

A thorough account of the theory of electronic transport in semiconductor nanostructures. Covers such topics as the quantum Hall effect, localisation, double-barrier tunnelling and the Green's function formalism of quantum transport. Problems and solutions are given at the end of each chapter.
