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...

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.
