"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. |
