Nanoscale Quantum Materials: Musings on the Ultra-Small World

In the past four decades, there has been growing interest in the exciting new topic of physics in low dimensions. Thousands of original ideas have been proposed in the literature, and some are confirmed experimentally, along with several Nobel prizes which have been awarded in this field. While there are several books available, almost all are technical and accessible only to expert researchers.
This book provides an accessible introduction to the field, with less emphasis on technical deta...
