Quantum Transport in Semiconductor Nanostructures
by C.W.J. Beenakker, H. van Houten - arXiv , 2004
In this review we present a self-contained account of three novel transport regimes in semiconductor nanostructures. The experimental and theoretical developments in this field have developed hand in hand, a balance that we maintained here as well.
