Nanoelectronics

Course Outline: Electronic properties of quantum nanostructures will be studied in this lecture. Nanofabrication and measurement techniques of nanostructuers will be explained. And quantum electronic transports, such as, ballistic transport, quantized conductance, single electron effect, magnetotransport, etc will be studied for various structures such as quantum well, quantum wire, quantum point contact, quantum dot nanostructures.
