| additional remarks | (1) Free and confined electrons in solids. (2) Electrons in a periodic potential: band theory of solids and dimensionality. Semiconductor materials, graphene and carbon nanotubes. (3) Two-dimensional electron gas. Quantum wells, quantum wires, quantum dots. (4) Surface electronic states, surface confinement, density of states vs. dimensionality. (5) Nanostructures and 2-D materials: from top-down control to bottom-up assembly. (6) Some important experimental techniques (scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, two-photon photoemission, inverse photoemission etc.) (7) Tunneling and tunnel junctions. (8) Coulomb blockade and single electron transistors. (9) Classical and semiclassical transport, ballistic transport, quantum resistance. (10) Quantum Hall effect and topological states. |
