Interaction between building and structure; Identify and qualify the significant correlations; Consequences in the design and the layout of structure; Choice of structure depending on the relevant parameters.

This class offers an introduction into quantum transport theory, a rigorous approach to electron transport at the nanoscale. It covers different topics such as bandstructure, Wave Function and Non-equilibrium Green's Function formalisms, and electron interactions with their environment. Matlab exercises accompany the lectures where students learn how to develop their own transport simulator.
