Integrated circuits were developed following Moore’s law. Moore’s law predicts that the degree of microprocessor integration would double every 18 months in DRAM. However, as the size of circuit elements approaches its physical limit, the optical method used in manufacturing 16 nm-node chips is also approaching a limit. Although the scaling of microelectronic circuit elements still follows Moore’s law, the unit density of power consumption will become unacceptable. Therefore, on the one hand, people continuously develop the microelectronic technology, and on the other, they consider the developing road after Moore’s law is broken, i.e., more Moore’s law or more-than Moore’s law.
Physically, when the scale of a circuit element decreases to 10 nm or even less, the quantum effect will appear and play a more and more important role. The electron transport becomes non-classical and non-linear, and even the electron motion likes the waveguide motion. This book introduces some theories and experiments of quantum transport and consists of two parts: (1) Non-Classical and Non-Linear Transport and (2) Quantum Waveguide Theory. It provides some foundations of semiconductor micro- and nanoelectronics for the after-Moore age. The two new chapters in this edition present investigations on (1) mesoscopic transport and (2) Rashba electron’s spin transport in a straight waveguide with a stub that has a smooth boundary.
Jian-Bai Xia is a professor at the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China. He has several firsts to his credit. Prof. Xia was the first to propose the plane wave expansion method, tensor model of quantum spheres, effective-mass theory of (11N)-oriented superlattices, and hole tunneling theory. He developed a systematic method in the framework of the effective-mass theory to study the electronic structures of quantum dots and wires in a magnetic or electric field, especially spin-related properties, besides predicting a series of new phenomena relating to quantum dots, quantum wires, and nanofilms. A recipient of many awards and honors, Prof. Xia has published more than 105 articles, authored or coauthored 2 monographs, and served in important capacities in several universities.
Duan-Yang Liu received his BS in applied physics from the College of Science, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2006 and a PhD in condensed matter physics from the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, in 2011. Since 2011, he has been a lecturer in the Physics Department, College of Science, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijing, China. He is currently engaged in research on semiconductor physics, especially carrier transport in low-dimensional semiconductor devices.
Wei-Dong Sheng is a professor in the Department of Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai, China. From 1996 to 1999, he developed systematic transfer-matrix and scattering-matrix approaches to ballistic transport in quantum waveguides and investigated electron waveguide couplers, magneto-transport through edge states, and quantum coherent networks. From 2000 to 2008, he developed a comprehensive framework of numerical approaches to strain distribution, electronic structure, and optical properties of self-assembled quantum dots and is currently engaged in developing an efficient configuration-interaction method for strongly correlated electron systems. Prof. Sheng has held significant positions in many universities.

Statutory Right to cancel
You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us, Paperbackshop-US, 901 Penhorn Avenue, Unit 6, 07094, Secaucus, New Jersey, U.S.A., 44 1285 712917, of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory. You can also electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". If you use this option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel with contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us or Paperbackshop-US, PaperbackShopUS, 801 Penhorn Avenue Unit 5, 07094, Secaucus, New Jersey, U.S.A., 44 1285 712917, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of cancellation
