Introductory course on electronic band structures and transport in systems from mac-roscopic dimensions to dimensions comparable to inter-atomic distances in solid state crystals. The course focuses on theory aspects but will also be complemented with demonstrations of experimental techniques in selected nanoelectronic laboratories. Some of the topics will be further elaborated on in the supplementary courses.
