"Electrons in Nanostructures"

Leo P. Kouwenhoven, Delft University of Technology

Abstract

The small structures nowadays realized in the field of nanotechnology have been used to study the fundamental phenomena for electronics. Electrons in nanostructures are strongly confined in the spatial directions such that the electronics spectrum becomes discrete, similar to atoms. This spectrum has been studied for a variety of semiconductor devices, carbon nanotubes and other nanocrystals. Although these studies are presently pure scientific we will speculate on electronic applications.
