                        Sem. 2. Class 3, cr. 3, (Offered in alternate years.)

                        Prerequisite: ECE 606, PHYS 545 or equivalent

Ultra small devices with dimensions less than the mean free path or the DeBroglie wavelength require new concepts and approaches. These concepts will be discussed along with special phenomena that have been observed in such structures.
