Overview
The quantum transport phenomena observed in semiconductor-based nanostructures over the past decade are described by the leading researchers in the field. Key articles describe the status of the quantum Hall effect, quantum dot transport, the theory of mesoscopic transport properties and a survey of mesoscopic transport phenomena, incompressible electron fluids, the Luttinger liquid, quantum chaology, quantum coherence and interactions, spectroscopy of nanostructures, and Cooper pair tunnelling.
The most recent developments are described in a number of shorter contributions, providing a survey of the present status of research in this extremely active area of fundamental and applied condensed matter research.
The presentation is suitable for advanced students and Ph.D. researchers wishing to gain an insight into the most recent work in the area.

Booknews
Papers from an August 1995 meeting provide insight into the fundamental physics underlying the mesoscopic transport phenomena in structured semiconductor inversion layers. Emphasis is on interaction and correlation phenomena relevant to an understanding of the phenomena in the quantum Hall regime and in the transport through quantum dots, with a review of the present status of quantum Hall experiments and theory. Describes recent developments concerning the Luttinger liquid, experimental work in persistent currents in semiconductor systems, and the construction of a single-electron transistor. For physicists.
