Summary:

In recent years submicron and nanoscale systems have featured strongly on the research agenda due to the technological progress and new physics that have emerged from studies of ultra-small systems. A fundamental understanding of basic physical phenomena on the mesoscopic and nanoscopic scales is required to exploit the technological potential offered by these exotic materials. The present book contains review-like chapters by some of the leading experts in the field, covering topics such as the Kondo effect, electron transport, disorder and quantum coherence with electron-electron interaction, persistent current, thermoelectric phenomena, etc. in quantum dots, quantum wires, carbon nanotubes and more. This book will be valuable to researchers and students in condensed matter physics.

Notes:

"The idea of this volume emerges from the 'International Workshop on the Physics of Zero and One Dimensional Nanoscopic Systems," which was held on 1-9 February 2006 at Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, [Calcutta] India"--Pref.
