Continuing miniaturization of electronic devices, together with the
quickly growing number of nanotechnological applications, demands a
profound understanding of the underlying physics. Most of the
fundamental problems of modern condensed matter physics involve
various aspects of quantum transport and fluctuation phenomena at
the nanoscale. In nanostructures, electrons are usually confined to
a limited volume and interact with each other and lattice ions,
simultaneously suffering multiple scattering events on impurities,
barriers, surface imperfections, and other defects. Electron
interaction with other degrees of freedom generally yields two
major consequences, quantum dissipation and quantum decoherence. In
other words, electrons can lose their energy and ability for
quantum interference even at very low temperatures. These two
different, but related, processes are at the heart of all quantum
phenomena discussed in this book. This book presents copious
details to facilitate the understanding of the basic physics behind
a result and the learning to technically reproduce the result
without delving into extra literature. The book subtly balances the
description of theoretical methods and techniques and the display
of the rich landscape of the physical phenomena that can be
accessed by these methods. It is useful for a broad readership
ranging from master's and PhD students to postdocs and senior
researchers.
