本书从介绍器件、强关联电子系统、多层纳米结构入手，讨论了在多层纳米结构中的输运现象，而其贯穿始终的方法是动力学平均场论。具体内容包括利用动力学平均场论来计算电子格林函数、线性响应输运，约瑟夫森结、热电器件等中的输运现象等，还讨论了非平衡和非线性响应。本书可以作为相关领域研究生的教材，也可作为科研工作者的参考书。
本书是影印英文版物理学专著，原书由世界科技出版社于2006年出版。多层纳米结构中的输运将会是未来极为重要的纳米技术应用，而动力学平均场论正是研究这一过程的手段。本书作者正是这一领域的主要研究者之一，又有丰富的授课经验。因而本书对这一课题作了深入探讨，同时讲解清晰、易于理解。还有，本书为彩色印刷，印制精美，是外观与内容并重的佳作。
