Download or read book The Method of Local Perturbations in the Theory of Nanosystems written by Alexander M. Ermolaev and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is devoted to the description of physical effects caused by resonant scattering of quasiparticles by isolated impurity atoms, which can localize electrons and phonons in nanosystems. It takes as its starting point the model of local perturbations by I.M. Lifshits, within which short-range impurity atoms are located at random points of the system. The role of a single impurity center in such systems increases with decreasing size. This book presents the first-ever application of the method of local perturbations to describe the physical properties of a wide range of nanosystems.
