Preface Nanoscale physics, nowadays one of the most topical research subjects, has two major areas of focus. One is the important field of potential applications bearing the promise of a great variety of materials having specific properties that are desirable in daily life. Even more fascinating to the researcher in physics are the fundamental aspects where quantum mechanics is seen at work; most macroscopic phenomena of nanoscale physics can only be understood and described using quantum mechanics. The emphasis of the present volume is on this latter aspect. It fits perfectly within the tradition of the South African Summer Schools in Theoretical Physics and the fifteenth Chris Engelbrecht School was devoted to this highly topical subject. This volume presents the contents of lectures from four speakers working at the forefront of nanoscale physics. The first contribution addresses some more general theoretical considerations on Fermi liquids in general and quantum dots in particular. The next topic is more experimental in nature and deals with spintronics in quantum dots. The alert reader will notice the close correspondence to the South African Summer School in 2001, published in LNP 587. The following two sections are theoretical treatments of low temperature transport phenomena and electron scattering on normal-superconducting interfaces (Andreev billiards). The enthusiasm and congenial atmosphere created by the speakers will be remembered well by all participants. The beautiful scenery of the Drakensberg surrounding the venue contributed to the pleasant spirit prevailing during the school. A considerable contingent of participants came from African countries outside South Africa and were supported by a generous grant from the Ford Foundation; the organisers gratefully acknowledge this assistance. The Organising Committee is indebted to the National Research Foundation for its financial support, without which such high level courses would be impossible. We also wish to express our thanks to the editors of Lecture Notes in Physics and Springer for their assistance in the preparation of this volume. Stellenbosch WD Heiss February 2005
