The field of quantum transport theory, which has its roots in the Landauer theory of mesoscopic physics, has witnessed a remarkable expansion in its reach, extending its influence to materials science and chemistry. By achieving remarkable chemical accuracy and physical realism, this theory has emerged as a novel subject of non-equilibrium quantum transport, particularly focusing on charge and heat at the nanoscale. This burgeoning field fosters interdisciplinary advancements, exemplified by the examination and application of the local heating theory to the self-heating problem in semiconductor and nanoelectronic device physics. To facilitate convenient access to the significant outcomes and advancements in this field, this book presents a compilation of 25 key published papers. This comprehensive collection aims to appeal to a diverse readership, including individuals engaged in charge- and/or heat-transport problems that span various disciplines within materials science, chemistry, electric engineering, and condensed matter physics.
