Interaction and Nanostructural Effects in Low-Dimensional Systems
Proceedings of the Yukawa International Seminar 2007 (YKIS2007)
Edited by T. Ando, N. Kawakami, Y. Kuramoto, T. Tohyama and K. Totsuka
This volume is a collection of papers presented at the 15th
Yukawa International Seminar (YKIS2007) ``Interaction and
Nanostructural Effects in Low-Dimensional Systems"
held at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University,
during November 5--30, 2007.
Low-dimensional quantum systems have been areas of active study
since the pioneering work of Bethe in 1931, and they are still
providing us with exciting topics, e.g. physics of graphene.
Nanoscience, on the other hand, has undergone remarkable development
thanks to recent advances in minute processing technology.
The YKIS2007 aimed at providing a forum for these two important areas
of physics, low-dimensional quantum systems and rapidly growing
nanostructural physics.
During the YKIS2007, there were 77 oral presentations, which included
several pedagogical lectures for graduate students, and 47 posters.
Of these oral contributions, 22 papers are printed in this volume.
The main topics covered in this volume are:
(1) graphene and related systems,
(2) strongly-correlated electron systems in low dimensions,
(3) recent advances in numerical approaches,
(4) spin transport physics,
(5) quantum dots, and
(6) mathematical physics in one dimension.
Most papers are short reviews written by experts of these topics,
and this volume will be useful not only to those who are engaged
in this area of research but also to those who are interested in
learning it or in initiating new research.
