Why is Electron-Electron Scattering Important in Nanotechnology?
In the realm of nanotechnology, the behavior of electrons can deviate significantly from their behavior in bulk materials due to quantum confinement and surface effects. Understanding electron-electron scattering is essential for designing and optimizing nanoscale devices, such as quantum dots and carbon nanotubes. It affects the electrical conductivity, thermal properties, and even the optical characteristics of these materials.
