9789813144491: Nanoelectronics: A Molecular View

Synopsis

This book is aimed at senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers interested in quantitative understanding and modeling of nanomaterial and device physics. With the rapid slow-down of semiconductor scaling that drove information technology for decades, there is a pressing need to understand and model electron flow at its fundamental molecular limits. The purpose of this book is to enable such a deconstruction needed to design the next generation memory, logic, sensor and communication elements. Through numerous case studies and topical examples relating to emerging technology, this book connects 'top down' classical device physics taught in electrical engineering classes with 'bottom up' quantum and many-body transport physics taught in physics and chemistry. The book assumes no more than a nodding acquaintance with quantum mechanics, in addition to knowledge of freshman level mathematics. Segments of this book are useful as a textbook for a course in nano-electronics.

Revue de presse

In a mere 500 pages, Avik Ghosh has provided a masterful exposure to the current research efforts geared towards a comprehensive and quantitative understanding of the quantum mechanical machinery needed to fully grasp the state-of-the-art modelling tools used for modelling nanomaterials and device physics. In a wonderful writing style, he gracefully merges the powerful bottom-up approach for analysing transport at the molecular level to the more traditional top-down approach still used in most upper level undergraduate and graduate curricula. This book provides a bird s eye view of all current research efforts in nanoelectronics which will captivate material scientists, device physicists, and electrical engineers alike. --Marc Cahay, University of Cincinnati
