Preface
This book is an introduction to a rapidly developing field of modern theoretical physics—the theory of quantum transport at nanoscale. The theoretical methods considered in the book are in the basis of our understanding of charge, spin, and heat transport in nanostructures and nanostructured materials and are widely used in nanoelectronics, molecular electronics, spin-dependent electronics (spintronics), and bioelectronics. Although some of these methods are already 20–25 years old, it is not so easy to find their systematic and consecutive description in one place. The main theoretical models and methods are distributed among many original publications, often written in different style and
