Synopsis
Eleven international experts contribute 11 chapters providing an overview of quantum-dot transport. Coverage includes transport in weakly-coupled quantum dots, where the current flow stems primarily from tunneling, and many-body phenomena dominate the resulting behavior; open dot and antidot systems, in which the Coulomb blockade is suppressed by charge fluctuations, and the connection between the quantum-mechanical and semiclassical descriptions of electron transport is of interest; and emerging applications of quantum dot, as single-photon detectors, in quantum cellular automata, and in carbon-nanotube spintronics. For physics and electrical engineering researchers, faculty, and graduate students, especially those researching the fundamental properties and technological applications of nanostructures and nanoelectronic devices.
