Description
This broad set of lectures starts from an introductory level
and proceeds to the more advanced one. Tentative outline:
(A) Density of States 2DEG density of states, Quantum-wire density of states Quantum-dot density of states, Density of states of actual nanostructures,
(B) Transmission in Nanostructures I: 1D conductance quantization, Quantum point contacts (QPCs), Electron channels in quantum wires, Quantum-wire conductance,
(C) Transmission in Nanostructures II (More on 1D Conductance Quantization): Temperature dependence, Spin & other degeneracies, Si & carbon nanotubes, Energy relaxation in ballistic transport, Quantum contact resistance, Non-linear transport in QPCs,
(D) Transmission in Nanostructures III: Disordered quantum wires, Breakdown of 1D conductance quantization, The Landauer formula, The Landauer formula & scaled CMOS.
