This book attempts to provide an introductory yet serious approach to a field of knowledge that is expected to play an extremely important role in the near future, containing a review of all the essential physical concepts and principles.

It is the first book of this content aimed at students of polytechnic schools or schools of so-called applied sciences.

Some important details about the book:

• Organized into three parts:
  • Part I: Describes the fundamental principles of Nanoscopic Physics that are necessary for understanding nanoelectronic devices.
  • Part II: Describes phenomena involving only one or a few electrons and the devices that operate with the precision of a single electron.
  • Part III: Studies phenomena involving a large number of electrons such as semiconductor quantum dots and nanowires.
• It includes the results of many experiments referenced in the corresponding literature, which document the physical concepts and principles described in the text.
• At the end of each chapter, a significant number of exercises are provided that allow students to practice solving related problems.
