Describes the chaos apparent in simple mechanical systems with the goal of elucidating the
connections between classical and quantum mechanics. It develops the relevant ideas of …

Reviews the transport properties of electrons in semiconductor heterojunction structures, in
which the degrees of freedom for motion of the charge carriers are reduced by confining …

Publisher Summary Quantum transport is conveniently studied in a two-dimensional
electron gas (2DEG) because of the combination of a large Fermi wavelength and large …

The purpose of this book was to provide a detailed understanding of the basic
semiconductor physics such as properties of electronic, optical, transport, and quantum …

In this introductory chapter several basic concepts, relevant for mesoscopic electron
transport, will be described. The aim is to provide a basis for several of the following …

Transverse electron focusing in a two-dimensional electron gas is investigated
experimentally and theoretically for the first time. A split Schottky gate on top of a GaAs-Al x …

Although electrons and photons are intrinsically different, importing useful concepts in optics
to electronics performing similar functions has been actively pursued over the last two …

We report on transverse magnetic focusing experiments in two-dimensional electron
systems in the vicinity of Landau level filling factor ν= 1/2. We observe quasiperiodic …

Understanding the microscopic processes by which the electrons within conductors are
scattered at surfaces and interfaces is important for both fundamental physics and …

We present an experimental and theoretical study of quantum ballistic transport in single
quantum point contacts (QPC's), defined in the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) of a …
