Prereq.: basic understanding of quantum mechanics and solid state physics; familiarity with MATLAB (or equivalent) will be helpful for many homework problems
The purpose of this class is to introduce graduate students to the recent developments in nanoscale device physics so that they can acquire the basic conceptual framework needed to participate in the exciting new field of nanoelectronics. A student should leave this class with an appreciation of key concepts like the Landauer formula and single-electron charging, together with the ability to perform concrete calculations of basic properties like the excitation spectra and current-voltage characteristics.
