This reference text presents a conceptual framework forunderstanding room-temperature electron and phonon transport through moleculesand other quantum objects. The flow of electricity through molecules isexplained at the boundary of physics and chemistry, providing an authoritativeintroduction to molecular electronics for physicists, and quantum transport forchemists.
Professor Lambert provides a pedagogical account of thefundamental concepts needed to understand quantum transport andthermoelectricity in molecular-scale and nanoscale structures. The material providesresearchers and advanced students with an understanding of how quantumtransport relates to other areas of materials modelling, condensed matter andcomputational chemistry. After reading the book, the reader will be familiarwith the basic concepts of molecular-orbital theory and scattering theory,which underpin current theories of quantum transport.
Key Features
This is a book dedicated to the theory of quantum transport in nanostructures and molecules. It is written at an intermediate level for undergraduate students and Ph.D. students.
The book is very clearly written and full of examples that help the reader to understand the difficult topics of quantum transport at the nanoscale. This is a book that must be present in any good university library, but please the hardcopy version is recommended, as its electronic version is difficult to use.
