Analytical Modeling for Transport (Nano-)Processes

https://doi.org/10.65770/KFFB9968

ABSTRACT

Nano-bio-technologies are a new interdisciplinary scientific sector, with revolutionary perspectives due to the fact that, at nano-size, the behavior and characteristics of matter radically change with respect to macroscopic dimensions. The paper provides an overview of the mathematical analytical modeling for transport (nano-)processes, through which the phenomena of charge transport (at nanometer level) are considered (also with reference to the most used numerical methods); it considers also recent advances in analytical (nano-)modeling. Plasmonics and related applications are also described. Examples of application are collected in the Appendix.
