Learn about lattice structures with basis atoms in this 18-minute lecture from the nanoHUB-U course "Fundamentals of Nanoelectronics Part B: Quantum Transport" taught by Supriyo Datta. Explore how crystal lattices are constructed when multiple atoms form the basis of the unit cell, building upon fundamental concepts in nanoelectronics and quantum transport. Discover the mathematical framework for describing these more complex lattice arrangements and understand their significance in the context of nanotransistors and atomic-scale current flow. This lecture forms part of a comprehensive course that bridges the gap between quantum mechanics and practical nanoelectronic devices, requiring only basic knowledge of linear algebra and differential equations while covering advanced concepts in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics relevant to modern semiconductor technology.
