Theory of Quantum Transport in Metallic and Hybrid Nanostructures / Edition 1

by Andreas Glatz, Veniamin I. Kozub, Valerii M. Vinokur

Overview

The book reflects scientific developments in the physics of metallic compound based nanodevices presented at the NATO-sponsored Workshop on nanophysics held in Russia in the summer of 2003. The program tackles the most appealing problems. It brings together specialists and provides an opportunity for young researchers from the partner countries to interact with them and get actively involved in the most attractive and promising interdisciplinary area of contemporary condensed matter physics.
