From Dilute Magnetic Alloys to Confined Nanostructures: Evolution of the Kondo Effect -- The Two Channel Kondo Effect in Quantum Dots -- Kondo Physics in Artificial Molecules -- Low Temperature Decoherence and Relaxation in Charge Josephson Junction Qubits -- Low-Energy Physical Properties of Edge States in Nanographite Systems -- Thermoelectric Phenomena from Macro-Systems to Nano-Systems -- Coherence and Interactions in Diffusive Systems -- Transport and Persistent Currents in Mesoscopic Rings: Interplay Between Electron-Electron Interaction and Disorder -- Electron Transport Through Mesoscopic Closed Loops and Molecular Bridges -- 2D Disordered Electronic System in the Presence of Strong Magnetic Field.

In recent years submicron and nanoscale systems have featured strongly on the research agenda due to the technological progress and new physics that have emerged from studies of ultra-small systems. A fundamental understanding of basic physical phenomena on the mesoscopic and nanoscopic scales is required to exploit the technological potential offered by these exotic materials. The present book contains review-like chapters by some of the leading experts in the field, covering topics such as the Kondo effect, electron transport, disorder and quantum coherence with electron-electron interaction, persistent current, thermoelectric phenomena, etc. in quantum dots, quantum wires, carbon nanotubes and more. This book will be valuable to researchers and students in condensed matter physics.
