Opis

This series of Landolt-Bornstein volumes is summarizing our current knowledge of the phenomena of mesoscopic quantum systems with spatial extensions between those of atoms and ordinary macroscopic solids. At low temperatures, they are said to become "quantum mechanically coherent" with states that extend over the whole system."

Spis treści

The present Subvolume B(1) provides in Part I an overview of the quantum transport effects discovered during the past two decades, irrespective of the material. In Parts II and III, quantum point contacts and quantum wires, respectively, based only on semiconducting systems are considered. Each of the parts comes with its references and author index. The latter consists of an index of references and an index of authors. Using both, it is easy to trace within the text every author working in the field. The subject index is established via the very detailed Table of Contents.
