Description
Book SynopsisBrings the Band Structure of Carbon-Based Devices into the Limelight
A shift to carbon is positioning biology as a process of synthesis in mainstream engineering. Silicon is quickly being replaced with carbon-based electronics, devices are being reduced down to nanometer scale, and further potential applications are being considered. While traditionally, engineers are trained by way of physics, chemistry, and mathematics, Nanoelectronics: Quantum Engineering of Low-Dimensional Nanoensembles establishes biology as an essential basic science for engineers to explore.
Unifies Science and Engineering: from Quantum Physics to Nanoengineering
Drawing heavily on published papers by the author, this research-driven text offers a complete review of nanoelectronic transport starting from quantum waves, to ohmic and ballistic conduction, and saturation-limited extreme nonequilibrium
Trade Review
"I expect Nanoelectronics: Quantum Engineering of Low-Dimensional Nanoensembles will become a favorite of many students, instructors, and more important future purveyors and custodians of nanoelectronics. Professor Arora’s book… plugs the void left by novel expensive computational methods…[and] challenges brilliant, maverick minds, determined to study what they find interesting no matter where they find it…"

"This textbook is ideal for students wishing to gain a firm grasp of the core ideas in modern nanoelectronic devices. Building up from atoms to bands and carrier statistics, this textbook leads on to the study of transport in quantum wells, carbon nanotubes and graphene. Specific issues with short channel devices, high field transport and transport in nanotubes and graphene is particularly timely."
—David Carey, University of Surrey
