This self-contained and extensively referenced text demonstrates the art of developing approximate quantum models of real nanodevices by describing the underlying theory behind their quantum mechanical operation. For use both in advanced courses and as a reference for researchers in physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and materials science.
