Current at the nanoscale; an introduction to nanoelectronics.9781860948237 Current at the nanoscale At nanometer size. Any device only a few nanometers in size is nanoscale. See nanotechnology and nanometer. ; an introduction to nanoelectronics. Durkan, Colm. Imperial College Press 2008 211 pages $79.00 Hardcover TK7874 As the scale of electronic devices begins to approach the nanometer level, notes Durkan (U. of Cambridge, UK), it is becoming increasingly important to understand the details of electric current flow in reduced dimensions. In this work, he provides an introductory overview of transport phenomena In physics, chemistry, biology and engineering, a transport phenomenon is any of various mechanisms by which particles or quantities move from one place to another. The laws which govern transport connect a flux with a "motive force". from the macroscale to the atomic level. Chapters describe the role of quantum level Quantum levels are fixed levels with a logarithmic, descending quantum pattern in the visible spectrum of light that can be observed through a spectrometer while looking at intense flows of electricity through the various halides on the periodic table in a vacuum tube. events in traditional resistors and transistors; the quantum nature of current flow (i.e. the relationship between current and voltage and the origins of electrical resistance Electrical resistance Opposition of a circuit to the flow of electric current. Ohm's law states that the current I flowing in a circuit is proportional to the applied potential difference V. ); the role of geometry, size, and microstructure mi·cro·struc·ture n. The structure of an organism or object as revealed through microscopic examination. microstructure Noun a structure on a microscopic scale, such as that of a metal or a cell in determining resistance at the nanoscale; techniques for probing the electrical properties of structures and devices at the nanoscale; heating and electromigration in nanowires; and the emerging field of molecular electronics.
