Quantum Point Contacts and Quantum Wires

The present Subvolume B(1) provides in Part I an overview of the quantum transport effects discovered during the past two decades, irrespective of the material. In Parts II and III, quantum point contacts and quantum wires, respectively, based only on semiconducting systems are considered. Each of the parts comes with its references and author index. The latter consists of an index of references and an index of authors. Using both, it is easy to trace within the text every author working in the field. The subject index is established via the very detailed Table of Contents.
