Abstract

Abstract Mesoscopic physics refers to phenomena occurring in a size regime intermediate between that of individual atoms or molecules, and that of macroscopic materials. This review provides an introduction to a sub-class of mesoscopic physics, dealing with quantum transport through nanostructures. The dual wave- and particle-nature of the conduction electrons is discussed, and illustrated by the examples of the electron waveguide and the electron box.
