Course Objective
1 . |
Physics about macroscopic objects |
2 . |
The basic mechanisms of electronic transport at the mesoscopic or nanoscopic scales, where the macroscopic laws no longer apply and where new concepts related to quantum mechanics |
3 . |
Possible applications in nano-electronics, it is essential to understand the basic physical properties such as electrical transport of mesoscopic materials. Transport mechanism in ordered and disordered materials. Afterwards the transport mechanism in low dimensional material. |
4 . |
Aharonov-Bhom effect, conductance quantization, Landau levels, Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, Coulomb blockade effects and universal conductance fluctuations and Landauer–Büttiker formalism. |
Course Outcome
