Modern deposition and patterning techniques allow the fabrication of ever smaller nanostructures, leading to confinement of electrons in one or more dimensions.
Contents: Fabrication, quantum wells and superlattices, quantum wires and dots, nano-transport (tunneling, conductance quantization), optical transitions (e.g. quantum cascade lasers), quantum Hall effect, graphene.
