Alternatives to "Mesoscopic Electronics in Solid State Nanostructures"

HappyJazz

Greetings.

I'm having a course called "Quantum Electronics", and one of the textbooks is "Mesoscopic Electronics in Solid State Nanostructures" by Thomas Heinzel. However, I find the book is often skipping an explanation of the real physics behind different subjects, which makes it kind of hard to learn from. I find the illustrations to be uninformative and the book is generally full of errors and typos in the formulas.

So I'm looking for alternatives to supplement my reading. I have previously been given a few handouts from "Electronic transport in mesoscopic systems" by Supriyo Datta, and it seems much more pedagogical. However, the book is from 1995, so I'm kinda worried that it is outdated.

So, do you guys have experience with Heinzel's book, and do you know of any alternatives that might be more pedagogical and supplement my reading?

Many thanks in advance!

Are in taking a course intended for Physics or Engineering Students ?

Hidden Physics points at engineering.

You may want to try the following book by Thomas Ihn:

If you find Datta's book good then go ahead with it, the basics didn't change much since then, back then (1995) they had the theory but probably not the experimental verification.
