Electron Transport in Quantum Dots

Electron Transport in Quantum Dots edited by Jonathan P. Bird.

When I was contacted by Kluwer Academic Publishers in the Fall of 200 I, inviting me to edit a volume of papers on the issue of electron transport in quantum dots, I was excited by what I saw as an ideal opportunity to provide an overview of a field of research that has made significant contribution...
