Abstract

In this book, we have discussed many aspects of TPSM based on the dispersion relations of the nanostructures of different technologically important materials having different band structures in the presence of 1D, 2D, and 3D confinements of the wave-vector space of the charge carriers, respectively. In this chapter, we discuss few applications in this context in Sect. 14.2 and we shall also present a very brief review of the experimental investigations in Sect. 14.3 which is a sea in itself. Section 14.4 contains the single experimental open research problem.
