Recent advances in semiconductor technology have made possible the fabrication of structures whose dimensions are much smaller than the mean free path of an electron. This book gives the first thorough account of the theory of electronic transport in such mesoscopic systems. Beginning with coverage of fundamental concepts, the book presents a detailed account of transmission function formalism which is used to describe three key topics in mesoscopic physics: the quantum Hall effect, localization, and double-barrier tunneling. Other sections include a discussion of optical analogies to mesoscopic phenomena, followed by a concluding description of the non-equilibrium Green's function formalism and its relation to the transmission formalism. Complete with problems and solutions, the book will be of great interest to graduate students of mesoscopic physics and nanoelectronic device engineering, as well as to established researchers in these fields.

Datta, Supriyo was born on February 2, 1954 in Dibrugarh, Assam, India. Came to the United States, 1975. Son of Anil Kumar and Sandhya (Gupta) Datta.
Bachelor of Technology, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, 1975. Master of Science, University Illinois, 1977. Doctor of Philosophy, University Illinois, 1979.
A leading figure in the modeling and understanding of nano-scale electronic conduction, he has been called "one of the most original thinkers in the field of nanoscale electronics." He is currently the Thomas Duncan Distinguished professor at the School of Electrical Engineering at Purdue University. He was the Director of National Aeronautics and Space Administration Institute for Nanoelectronics and Computing (INAC) from 2002-2007. As an author, his books are widely used as original research and design work in the field of nanotechnology and electronic devices.
Doctor Supriyo did his schooling from Hindi High School in Kolkata, India.
He was first in the whole West Bengal Board of Secondary Education exam in 1970. Datta received his B.Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur, India in 1975.
He then received both his Mississippi and Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1977 and 1979 respectively. In 1981, he joined Purdue University, where he is (since 1999) the Thomas Duncan Distinguished Professor in the School of Electrical Engineering.
Since 1985 he has focused on current flow in nanoscale electronic devices and is well known for his contributions to spin electronics and molecular electronics.
Datta’s most important contribution was the approach he pioneered for the description of quantum transport far from equilibrium, combining the non-equilibrium Green"s function (NEGF) formalism of many-body physics with the Landauer formalism from Mesoscopic physics. His approach to the problem of quantum transport has not only had a significant impact on nanoelectronics research but also on graduate and undergraduate curriculum development in the area. making the greatest contribution of the year to science.
