Fundamentals of Nanoelectronics (Fall 2004)

01 Sep 2004 | Courses | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta, Behtash Behinaein

Welcome to the ECE 453 lectures. The development of "nanotechnology" has made it possible to engineer material and devices on a length scale as small as several nanometers (atomic distances are ~ 0.1 nm). The properties of such "nanostructures" cannot be described in terms of macroscopic …

Fall 2008 This is a newly produced version of the course that was formerly available. We would greatly appreciate your feedback regarding the new format and contents. Objective: To convey the basic concepts of nanoelectronics to electrical engineering students with no background in …

Quantum Transport: Atom to Transistor (Spring 2004)

23 May 2006 | Courses | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta

The development of "nanotechnology" has made it possible to engineer materials and devices on a length scale as small as several nanometers (atomic distances are ~ 0.1 nm). The properties of such "nanostructures" cannot be described in terms of macroscopic parameters like mobility and diffusion …

CQT: Concepts of Quantum Transport

30 Nov 2006 | Courses | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta

In this series of four lectures (approximately 6 hours total) Supriyo Datta explores the physics of current flow in nanodevices in simple physical terms, stressing clearly what is now known and what is not.

ECE 659 Quantum Transport: Atom to Transistor

27 Jan 2009 | Courses | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta

This course the basic concepts of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics with special emphasis on non-equilibrium problems involving nanoscale current flow to graduate students with little or no background in these subjects.

Colloquium on Graphene Physics and Devices

22 Sep 2009 | Courses | Contributor(s): Joerg Appenzeller, Supriyo Datta, Mark Lundstrom

This short course introduces students to graphene as a fascinating research topic as well as to develop their skill in problem solving using the tools and techniques of electronics from the bottom up.

Nanoelectronics and the Meaning of Resistance

20 Aug 2008 | Courses | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta

The purpose of this series of lectures is to introduce the "bottom-up" approach to nanoelectronics using concrete examples. No prior knowledge of quantum mechanics or statistical mechanics is assumed; however, familiarity with matrix algebra will be helpful for some topics.

Nanoelectronic Devices, With an Introduction to Spintronics

09 Sep 2010 | Courses | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta, Mark Lundstrom

Nanoelectronic devices are at the heart of today's powerful computers and are also of great interest for many emerging applications including energy conversion, sensing and alternative computing paradigms. Our objective, however, is not to discuss specific devices or applications. Rather it is to …
