Statistical Mechanics
The increasing demand for higher computing power, smaller dimensions, and lower power consumption of integrated circuits leads to a pressing need to downscale semiconductor components. Moore’s law, which has continued unabated for 40 years, is the empiric

Preface
This book bridges the gap between elementary quantum transport books and more rigorous graduate-level material on the quantum field theory of many-body systems. The book presents a simple, intuitive understanding of Green’s function theory and its application for the analysis of nanoelectronic devices. It attempts to explain the underlying physics with a consistent theoretical footing. This book targets graduatelevel students and researchers in electronics and physics. One of the stimulating factors f
