Lessons from Nanoelectronics
20 Jul 2011 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta
Everyone is familiar with the amazing performance of a modern laptop,
powered by a billion-plus nanotransistors, each having an active
region that is barely a few hundred atoms long. What is not as
appreciated is the deeper understanding of current flow, energy
exchange and device …

Near-Equilibrium Transport: Fundamentals and Applications
28 Jul 2011 | Courses | Contributor(s): Mark Lundstrom
Engineers and scientists working on electronic materials and devices
need a working knowledge of "near-equilibrium" (also called "linear"
or "low-field") transport. The term "working knowledge" means
understanding how to use theory in practice. Measurements of
resistivity, conductivity, …

Solar Cell Fundamentals
19 Aug 2011 | Courses | Contributor(s): Mark Lundstrom, J. L. Gray, Muhammad A. Alam
The modern solar cell was invented at Bell Labs in 1954 and is
currently receiving renewed attention as a potential contribution to
addressing the world's energy challenge. This set of five tutorials
is an introduction to solar cell technology fundamentals. It begins
with a broad …

Thermal Transport Across Interfaces
23 Aug 2011 | Courses | Contributor(s): Timothy S Fisher
These lectures provide a theoretical development of the transport of
thermal energy by conduction in nanomaterials, in which material
interfaces typically dominate transport. The physical nature of energy
transport by two carriers: electrons and phonons--will be explored.
