Electronic Transport in Mesoscopic Systems 《介观系统中的电子输运》 SUPRIYO DATTA 世界图书出版公司 Mesoscopic: 介观是介于宏观与微观之间的一种体系。处于介观的物体在尺寸上已是宏观的，因而具有宏观体系的特点；但是由于其中电子运动的相干性， 会出现一系列新的与量子力学相位相联系的干涉现象, 这又与微观体系相似，故称“介观”。 封面：Recent advances in technology have made it possible to fabricate structures whose dimensions are much smaller than the mean free path of an electron. This is the first text-book to give a thorough account of the theory of electronic transport in such mesoscopic systems. Important concepts are illustrated by reference to relevant experimental results. The book begins with a chapter summarizing the necessary background material（开章介绍了所需的背景材料）. The next chapter introduces the ‘transmission formalism’ which is widely used in describing mesoscopic transport（接下来介绍了描述介观输运所用的传输公式）. The applicability of this formalism to different transport regimes（条件环境） is examined and practical methods for evaluating the transmission function are discussed. This formalism is then used to describe three key topics in mesoscopic physics: quantum Hall effect（量子霍尔效应）, localization, and double-barrier tunneling（双势垒隧穿）. Optical analogies（光学模拟/类比？） to mesoscopic phenomena are discussed briefly. The book closes with a simple intuitive description of the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism and its relation to the transmission formalism. Emphasizing basic concepts and techniques throughout, and complete with problems and solutions, the book will be of great interest to graduate students as well as to established researchers interested in mesoscopic physics and nanoelectronics（介观分子物理，纳米电子学）. Acknowledgments致谢 I am grateful to Phil Bagwell, Markus Buttilker, Marc Cahay, Nick Giordano and Mark Lundstrom for taking time off their busy schedules to look over earlier versions of the manuscript and provide me with useful feedbacks. Also, this book is based on a graduate course I developed at Purdue and I am indebted to the many students and ex-students who have contributed to my understanding in differe
