Quantum Interference Effects in Small Systems: Normal and Superconducting Networks

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Physics ((SPPHY,volume 13))

Abstract

We review some of the recent advances in the study of normal and superconducting networks. Emphasis is placed on the possible use of networks, made of micronic or submicronic units, in order to study some basic physical phenomena: frustration, weak-localization and enhanced backscattering in disordered materials.
