This book gives a comprehensive description of the physics and applications of resonant tunnelling diodes. The opening chapters of the book set out the basic principles of coherent tunnelling theory. The effects of impurity scattering, femtosecond dynamics, non-equilibrium distribution and intrinsic bistabilities are then described in detail. The applications of RTDs, such as in high-frequency signal generation and multi-valued data storage, are also reviewed. The book closes with a chapter devoted to the more recent field of resonant tunnelling through laterally confined zero-dimensional structures. Covering all the key theoretical and experimental aspects of this stimulating area of research, the book will be of great value to graduate students of quantum transport physics and device engineering, as well as to researchers in both these fields.
Bonar's Catalogue of Adam Smith's Library was originally published at the end of the nineteenth century; and a new and enlarged edition in 1932. Dr Mizuta's researches have now added substantially to the total number of books known to have been in Adam Smith's library, as well as adding information about many of those originally catalogued by Bonar. The present supplement records all this additional material, and provides as well a general check list and index to the catalogue as a whole.

Adam Smith is considered the founding father of economics. Yet to form an accurate picture of the theoretical basis of his work, it is necessary to know what influenced him. This book is the most up-t
This is a critical bibliography of Adam Smith. It takes as its starting point the Vanderblue Collection of Smithiana held by the Kress Library and its accompanying published catalogue.
