Author Description

The motion of electrons in mesoscopic systems such as Aharonov-Bohm rings, small Josephson and tunnel junctions, quantum wires dots, and point contracts is presented in this volume in terms of a fully quantum mechanical description of electronic states and current flows in solids. The comprehensive reviews by leading scientists in the field on the present understanding of mesoscopic systems will serve as a good basis for further development of the science and technology of quantum devices.
