ECE 4140/6140 (# will be updated) Fundamentals of Nanoelectronics
ECE 4140/6140 Fundamentals of Nanoelectronics No background except basic Electromagnetics, Matlab/Mathematica and Calculus Open to students from any scientific discipline, UGs and Grads Covers a ‘bottom-up’ view of current flow (Start: Current through a Hydrogen atom) Goes on to Molecule Solid Heterostructure Modern day Transistor

But there were puzzles !!! Dalton (1808) What does an atom look like ???
Solar system model of atom Continuous radiation from orbiting electron Spectrum of Helium mv2/r = Zq2/4pe0r2 Centripetal force Electrostatic force Pb1: Atom would be unstable! (expect nanoseconds observe billion years!) Pb2: Spectra of atoms are discrete! Transitions E0(1/n2 – 1/m2) (n,m: integers)
