technology has brought microelectronics to the nanoscale, but
nanoelectronics is not yet a well-defined engineering discipline
with a coherent, experimentally verified, theoretical framework.
The NCN has a vision for a new, 'bottom-up' approach to
electronics, which involves: understanding electronic conduction
at the atomistic level; formulating new simulation techniques;
developing a new generation of software tools; and bringing this
new understanding and perspective into the classroom. We address
problems in atomistic phenomena, quantum transport, percolative
transport in inhomogeneous media, reliability, and the
connection of nanoelectronics to new problems such as biology,
medicine, and energy. We work closely with experimentalists to
understand nanoscale phenomena and to explore new device
concepts. In the course of this work, we pro
