In the first half of the course, we will have an overview of the novel properties and device structures when classical transport is replaced by quantum transport as the device size is reduced down to nanometer scale, as well as new fabrication and characterization techniques developed for these nanoscale devices. In the second half, we will study in detail several systems which have emerged as the leading candidates to drive the state of the art in future electronics. Such systems include single electron devices, carbon nanotubes, semiconductor nanowires and molecular electronics. We will also briefly explore approaches alternative to electronics, such as spintronics and quantum computing.
