Synopsis

With cutting-edge materials and minute electronic devices being produced by the latest nanoscale fabrication technology, it is essential for scientists and engineers to rely on first-principles (ab initio) calculation methods to fully understand the electronic configurations and transport properties of nanostructures. It is now imperative to introduce practical and tractable calculation methods that accurately describe the physics in nanostructures suspended between electrodes.This timely volume addresses novel methods for calculating electronic transport properties using real-space formalisms free from geometrical restrictions. The book comprises two parts: The first details the basic formalism of the real-space finite-difference method and its applications. This provides the theoretical foundation for the second part of the book, which presents the methods for calculating the properties of electronic transport through nanostructures sandwiched by semi-infinite electrodes.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

“. . . mathematical equations are described rigorously and the practical aspects are well described with many lucid figures, which will help the readers understand the subjects discussed. In addition, applications are properly selected and presented. I would strongly recommend that anyone studying the subject uses this book as a monograph or textbooks.” Professor Kiyoyuki Terakura Hokkaido University “This timely volume is extremely well organized, with mathematical equations rigorously derived in the text and with many numerical examples, which help in following the discussed subject. In addition, the coverage of the material is reasonably complete and on the whole clearly explained. This book can be enthusiastically recommended to both experts and novices.” Takahisa Ohno Director General National Institute for Materials Science, Japan With cutting-edge materials and minute electronic devices being produced by the latest nanoscale fabrication technology, it is essential for scientists and engineers to rely on first-principles (ab initio) calculation methods to fully understand the electronic configurations and transport properties of nanostructures.
