CQT Lecture 2: Electrical Resistance - A Simple Model
30 Nov 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Supriyo Datta
Objective:To introduce a simple quantitative model for describing current flow in nanoscalestructures and relate it to well-known large scale properties like Ohm’s Law.

CQT Lecture 3: Probabilities, Wavefunctions and Green Functions
30 Nov 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Supriyo Datta
Objective: To extend the simple model from Lecture 2 into the full-blown model combines the NEGF (Non-Equilibrium Green Function) method with the Landauer approach.

CQT Lecture 4: Coulomb blockade and Fock space
30 Nov 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Supriyo Datta
Objective: To illustrate the limitations of the model described in Lectures 2, 3 and introduce a completely different approach based on the concept of Fock space. I believe this will be a key concept in the next stage of development of transport physics.

CQT: Concepts of Quantum Transport
30 Nov 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Supriyo Datta
Note: For an expanded version of these lectures see Datta's 2008 NCN@Purdue Summer School presentations on Nanoelectronics and the Meaning of Resistance. How does the resistance of a conductor change as we shrink its length all the way down to a few atoms? This is a question that...

Curriculum on Nanotechnology
27 Jan 2005 |
To exploit the opportunities that nanoscience is giving us, engineers will need to learn how to think about materials, devices, circuits, and systems in new ways. The NCN seeks to bring the new understanding emerging from research in nanoscience into the graduate and undergraduate curriculum. The...

Dissipative Quantum Transport in Semiconductor Nanostructures
23 Dec 2011 | | Contributor(s):: Peter Greck
In this work, we investigate dissipative quantum transport properties of an open system. After presenting the background of ballistic quantum transport calculations, a simple scattering mechanism, called Büttiker Probes, is introduced. Then, we assess the properties of the Büttiker Probe model...
