Zaikin A. Dissipative Quantum Mechanics of Nanostructures...2019 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

The purpose of this book is to provide a systematic and comprehensive coverage of physical ideas, theoretical methods, and key results in a rapidly developing field of quantum transport
and macroscopic quantum phenomena in a wealth of available nanoscale structures. Better understanding of the whole scope of such phenomena is extremely important both from fundamental point of view as well as for fabrication of high-quality nanodevices with controlled parameters involved in a variety of applications.
