Structures of integrated circuits are approaching fundamental limits and the next generation of devices might show unexpected properties due to quantum effects and fluctuations. A long history of research has shown that when features in electronic materials approach the size of electronic wavelengths, quantum effects manifest themselves in their properties. A new research field has been developed in which we pursue understanding of basic physics associated with such quantum structures, explore their controlability, and propose new devices. The purpose of this book is to give a comprehensive description of developments in this new field of mesoscopic physics and electronics.
