Owing to new physical, technological, and device concepts of
low-dimensionalelectronic systems, the physics and
fabrication of quasi-zero, one- and two-dimensional systems
are rapidly growing fields. The contributions presented in
this volume cover results of nanostructure fabrication
including recently developed techniques, for example,
tunneling probe techniques and molecular beam epitaxy,
quantum transport including the integer and fractional
quantum Hall effect, optical and transport studies of the
two-dimensional Wigner solid, phonon studies of
low-dimensional systems, and Si/SiGe heterostructures and
superlattices. To the readers new in the field this volume
gives a comprehensive introduction and for the experts it is
an update of their knowledge and a great help for decisions
about future research activities.
