Light–matter interactions at the single-particle level have generally been explored in the
context of atomic, molecular and optical physics. Recent advances motivated by quantum …

The control of electrons at the level of the elementary charge e was demonstrated
experimentally already in the 1980s. Ever since, the production of an electrical current ef, or …

The motion of electrons through quantum dots is strongly modified by single-electron
charging and the quantization of energy levels,. Much effort has been directed towards …

This review seeks to extend the scope of both the experimental and theoreticalwork carried
out since I completed my 1993 review on the electronic, optical, andto a lesser extent, the …

Electronic and photonic materials discussed in this handbook are the key elements of
continued scientific and technological advances in the 21st century. The electronic and …

Fullerenes are graphitic cage structures incorporating exactly twelve pentagons. The
smallest possible fullerene is thus C20, which consists solely of pentagons. But the extreme …

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 …

The discovery of superconductivity at 39 K in magnesium diboride, MgB2, raises many
issues, a critical one being whether this material resembles a high-temperature copper …

Magnetic information storage relies on external magnetic fields to encode logical bits
through magnetization reversal. But because the magnetic fields needed to operate …

Josephson-junction arrays are ideal model systems to study a variety of phenomena such as
phase transitions, frustration effects, vortex dynamics and chaos. In this review, we focus on …
