Quantum transport in low-dimensional quantum wires and dots

We have investigated in this thesis the current-voltage response of such nanostructures, particularly that of systems made up of quantum dots, the so called "artificial atoms" which are essentially semiconductor heterostructure islands connected to source and drain. To be specific, what th...
