Fundamentals of nanoscopic physics. Introduction to Nanoelectronics (top-down vs bottom-up approach, relevant length scales). Wave/particle duality, wave functions, wave packets and Heisenberg uncertainty relations. Free and confined electrons, free electron model, density of states, band theory (periodic potential), tunnel junctions/resonant tunneling, single electron tunneling. Electronic structure of quantum dots, quantum wires and quantum wells and their transport properties. Coulomb blockade and single electron transistor.
