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 or diffusion coefficient and a microscopic or
atomistic viewpoint is called for. The purpose of this course is to convey the conceptual
framework that underlies this microscopic viewpoint using examples related to the
emerging field of nanoelectronics.
