Course Questions and Answers

Three formats of materials are available for each lecture. These are: a synchronized video/notes presentation (Video Lecture link), notes in Adobe Acrobat PDF (Notes link), and a video stream in Microsoft Media Player (Video Only link).

Questions and Answers: We are introducing a questions and answers page for this course. Questions along with answers for specific lectures can be found here.

Please Note: The entire lecture series has been revised, thus subjects for specific lectures may have changed. The Video Lectures are being re-processed to support both Macintosh and PC platforms. Should this fail on your platform, please use the Notes combined with Video Only to view the lecture.

Text Book: The text book for this course, Quantum Transport: Atom to Transistor is scheduled to be published in May 2005 by Cambridge University Press.

The lecture notes have been prepared by Kirk Bevan and Behtash Behinaein, with video production by Stephan Rhodes.
