‎'‎Molecular transport phenomena in junctions is a very ‎'‎hot‎'‎ area‎,‎ that is best understood in terms of quantum transport phenomena in general‎.‎ This book‎,‎ by one of the true leaders in this field‎,‎ presents and clarifies molecular transport in the context of the larger quantum transport area‎.‎ The text is lucid‎,‎ masterful‎,‎ understandable and unified‎.‎ The numerical examples and MATLAB codes combine with the discussions to provide a strongly integrated and very readable overview of the field‎.‎‎'‎ Mark Ratner‎,‎ Northwestern University‎,‎ Illinois ‎'‎A lucid treatment of what‎'‎s destined to be the ‎'‎next big thing‎'‎ for electrical engineers ‎- conduction at the atomic scale ‎- eminently suitable for students and professionals alike‎.‎ The generous use of examples and clarifying remarks‎,‎ together with the novel approach of sequentially building up transport theory from the ‎'‎bottom up‎'‎ and a genuine flair for effortlessly bringing together salient aspects of physics and engineering makes this a very useful book‎,‎ indeed‎.‎‎'‎ Steve Laux‎,‎ IBM‎,‎ Yorktown Heights ‎'‎In recent years‎,‎ scientists have developed a powerful practical technique based on Green function methods for calculating transport through small open systems‎.‎ Supriyo Datta is one of its leading exponents and his new textbook makes a valiant and fascinating effort to use the formalism to provide a simple exposition of quantum transport on the atomic scale ‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎ It is more accessible‎,‎ more embracing and a much better read than his earlier monograph Electronic Transport in Mesoscopic Systems‎.‎ It contains excellent examples‎,‎ good breadth and progressive detail‎,‎ and is of real value to electronic engineers‎,‎ physicists‎,‎ and chemists researching modern interdisciplinary nanoelectronics‎.‎‎'‎ Chemistry World
