Transport in Semiconductor Mesoscopic Devices
by David K. Ferry
Modern electronics is being transformed as device size decreases to a size where the dimensions are significantly smaller than the constituent electron's mean free path. In such systems the electron motion is strongly confined resulting in dramatic changes of behaviour compared to the bulk. This book introduces the physics and applications of transport in such mesoscopic and nanoscale electronic systems and devices. The behaviour of these novel devices is influenced by numerous effects not seen in bulk semiconductors, such as the Aharonov-Bohm Effect, disorder and localization, energy quantization, electron wave interference, spin splitting, tunnelling and the quantum hall effect to name a few. Including coverage of recent developments, and with a chapter on carbon-based nanoelectronics, this book will provide a good course text for advanced students or as a handy reference for researchers or those entering this interdisciplinary area.

Review
The book will be very useful for professional engineers working on semiconductor devices and electronic materials. It provides numerous exercises, suitable for early career graduate students in electrical and electronic engineering and nanoscience. Professor Mukunda Das 2018 Australian Physics Magazine, Australian Institute of Physics
This is a very good book that will be suitable for classes of well-prepared, first-year graduate students in this field of study. The book will also be useful to researchers as an introduction to the subject. Finally, the book may also be suitable for advanced undergraduates who have a strong background in quantum mechanics and semiconductor physics. Steven C.
