Quantum Transport in Semiconductor Nanostructures
Open accessAbstract
Publisher Summary Quantum transport is conveniently studied in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) because of the combination of a large Fermi wavelength and large mean free path. Semiconductor nanostructures are unique in offering the possibility of studying quantum transport in an artificial potential landscape. This is the regime of ballistic transport in which scattering with impurities are neglected. The chapter presents a self-contained account of these three novel transport regimes in semiconductor nanostructures. The study of quantum transport in semiconductor nanostructures is motivated by more than scientific interest. The fabrication of nanostructures relies on sophisticated crystal growth and lithographic techniques that exist because of the industrial effort toward the miniaturization of transistors. Conventional transistors operate in the regime of classical diffusive transport, which breaks down on short length scales. The discovery of novel transport regimes in semiconductor nanostructures provides options for the development of innovative future devices.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
