Everyone is familiar with the amazing performance of a modern smartphone, powered by a billion-plus nanotransistors, each having an active region that is barely a few hundred atoms in length.

These lecture notes are about a less appreciated by-product of the microelectronics revolution, namely the deeper understanding of current flow, and device operation that it has enabled, which forms the basis for a new approach to transport problems.

The book assumes very little background beyond linear algebra and differential equations, and is intended to be accessible to anyone in any branch of science or engineering.

Contents:

  • The New Ohm's Law:

    • The Bottom-Up Approach
    • Why Electrons Flow
    • The Elastic Resistor
    • Ballistic and Diffusive Transport
    • Conductivity
    • Diffusion Equation for Ballistic Transport
    • What about Drift?
    • Electrostatics is Important
    • Smart Contacts
  • Old Topics in New Light:

    • Thermoelectricity
    • Phonon Transport
    • Measuring Electrochemical Potentials
    • Hall Effect
    • Spin Valve
    • Kubo Formula
    • Second Law
    • Fuel Value of Information
  • Contact-ing Schrödinger:

    • The Model
    • Non-Equilibrium Green's Functions (NEGF)
    • Can Two Offer Less Resistance than One?
    • Quantum of Conductance
    • Rotating an Electron
    • Does NEGF Include “Everything”?
    • The Quantum and the Classical

Readership: Students and professionals in any branch of science or engineering.
Key Features:

  • Based on a physically insightful approach that not only conveys the key concepts of nanoelectronics, but also their relevance to other non-equilibrium problems of broad interest
  • The lectures are complemented by an extensive set of online resources developed over many years
  • The author received the 2008 IEEE Technical Field Award for graduate teaching “for his unique approach to quantum transport that has inspired and educated graduate students in the field of nanoscale electronic devices”
