This book introduces researchers and students to the physical principles which govern the operation of solid-state devices whose overall length is smaller than

The advent of semiconductor structures whose characteristic dimensions are smaller than the mean free path of carriers has led to the development of novel devic

Advances in semiconductor technology have made possible the fabrication of structures whose dimensions are much smaller than the mean free path of an electron.

A comprehensive, detailed description of the properties and behaviour of mesoscopic devices.

Semiconductor technology has developed considerably during the past several decades. The exponential growth in microelectronic processing power has been achieve
