This book focuses on the theoretical aspect of nanoscale devices. Introduction to the physics of nanoelectronics begins with an overview of the mathematics and quantum mechanics which are necessary to understanding subsequent chapters. The contributors introduce electron transport, spin current and spin transport, spintronics and the Spin Hall Effect, carbon electronics and gauge physics in nanoelectronics. They also develop theoretical methodology using quantum mechanical and non-equilibrium Green's function techniques to calculate electronic currents and elucidate their transport properties at the atomic scale.
