Quantum transport in submicron devices : a theoretical introduction /

Show other versions (1)

In this book, the problem of electron and hole transport is approached from the point of view that a coherent and consistent physical theory can be constructed for transport phenomena. Along the road readers will visit some exciting citadels in theoretical physics as the authors guide them through t...
