The quantum Hall (QH) effect represents a unique playground where quantum coherence of
electrons can be exploited for various applications, from metrology to quantum computation …

The study of single-electron phenomena associated with tunnelling in semiconductor
nanostructures has emerged in recent years as a major forefront of condensed matter …

A linear-response theory is developed for resonant tunneling through a quantum dot of small
capacitance, in the regime of thermally broadened resonances. The theory extends the …

Publisher Summary Quantum transport is conveniently studied in a two-dimensional
electron gas (2DEG) because of the combination of a large Fermi wavelength and large …

The observation of quantum conductance oscillations in mesoscopic systems has
traditionally required the confinement of the carriers to a phase space of reduced …

The behaviour of traditional electronic devices can be understood in terms of the classical
diffusive motion of electrons. As the size of a device becomes comparable to the electron …

A method is described for the numerical calculations of the ballistic conductance in
mesoscopic structures in magnetic fields within a lattice model. Examples of calculated …

The ongoing miniaturization of solid state devices often leads to the question:“How small
can we make resistors, transistors, etc., without changing the way they work?” The question …

We have investigated the behavior of a laterally confined quantum dot in close proximity to a
one-dimensional channel in a separate electrical circuit. When this channel is biased in the …

In its original form, this widely acclaimed primer on the fundamentals of quantized
semiconductor structures was published as an introductory chapter in Raymond Dingle's …
