Techniques for the preparation of condensed matter systems have
advanced considerably in the last decade, principally due to the
developments in microfabrication technologies. The widespread
availability of millikelvin temperature facilities also led to the
discovery of a large number of new quantum phenomena.
Simultaneously, the quantum theory of small condensed matter
systems has matured, allowing quantitative predictions. The effects
discussed in Quantum Dynamics of Submicron Structures include
typical quantum interference phenomena, such as the
Aharonov-Bohm-like oscillations of the magnetoresistance of thin
metallic cylinders and rings, transport through chaotic billiards,
and such quantization effects as the integer and fractional quantum
Hall effect and the quantization of the conductance of point
contacts in integer multiples of the conductance quantum'.
Transport properties and tunnelling processes in various types of
normal metal and superconductor tunnelling systems are treated. The
statistical properties of the quantum states of electrons in
spatially inhomogeneous systems, such as a random, inhomogeneous
magnetic field, are investigated. Interacting systems, like the
Luttinger liquid or electrons in a quantum dot, are also
considered. Reviews are given of quantum blockade mechanisms for
electrons that tunnel through small junctions, like the Coulomb
blockade and spin blockade, the influence of dissipative coupling
of charge carriers to an environment, and Andreev scattering.
Coulomb interactions and quantization effects in transport through
quantum dots and in double-well potentials, as well as quantum
effects in the motion of vortices, as in the Aharonov-Casher
effect, arediscussed. The status of the theory of the
metal-insulator and superconductor-insulator phase transitions in
ordered and disordered granular systems are reviewed as examples in
which such quantum effects are of great importance.
