Nanotechnology V 4 - Information Technology

The entire reference set of 9 volumes provides an excellent, in-depth overview of everything you need to know about nanotechnology and nanoscience with each volume dedicated to a specific topic which is covered in detail by experts from that particular field.

Adaptation of nanoscience to electronics is the hot topic discussed in this cross-disciplinary reference. Transistors, logic devices and quantum mechanics are just a couple of the subjects explained in this final volume by leading professionals in the field.

Rainer Waser, Professor at the Faculty for Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of the RWTH Aachen University and Director at the Institute of Solid State Research Jülich. In his research on fundamental aspects of electronic materials and integrated devices he maintains strong collaborations with major semiconductor industries worldwide. He has published about 250 technical papers and holds ten patents. He has edited the book Nanoelectronics and Information Technology, Wiley-VCH, and is member of the ITRS working group on Emerging research Devices. Since 2002, he has been the coordinator of the research program "Nanoelectronic Systems" within the Helmholtz Association. In 2007, he has co-founded the section "Fundamentals of Future Information Technology" of the Jülich-Aachen Research Alliance (JARA).
