Published in the year 2009, Fundamentals Of Nanoelectronics is a book that throws light on several key aspects pertaining to the field of nanoelectronics. Summary Of The Book Nanotechnology can be defined as the technology that utilizes nanoscopic objects, which are less than 100 nm in size. Nanoelectronics focuses on the usage of miniaturized electronic components, such as transistors. Fundamentals Of Nanoelectronics is a book that is one of the first books that throws light on the subject of Nanoelectronics, which is of great use for undergraduate, and postgraduate students of engineering studies. Through the course of this book, the author explains several key concepts such as the Time-Independent Schrodinger’s equation, Light, Electron Theory, Fermi Level and Chemical Potential, Crystalline Materials, Kronig-Penney Model of Band Structure, Tunneling through a potential barrier, and the Single-Electron transistor. Fundamentals Of Nanoelectronics contains 10 chapters, each of which covers several different concepts pertaining to nanoelectronics. A few of the chapters are Fundamentals Of Nanoscopic Physics, Quantum Mechanics Of Electrons, Many Electron Phenomena, Nanowires, Ballistic Transport, And Spin Support, Classical Waves And Quantum Particles. At the end of each chapter in this book, there are a number of problems, which helps the readers assess their understanding of the subject. Additionally, there are also certain main points at the end of each chapter, which help to summarize the key aspects. There are also four appendices present at the end of this book, covering topics such as Symbols And Acronyms, Conventional Mosfets, and Physical Properties Of Materials. The fourth appendix in this book provides answers to the problems present in this book, chapter-wise. About George W. Hanson George W. Hanson is a well-known author, and educationist from Milwaukee. Apart from this book, Hanson has written few other engineering books, and they include Fundamental Transmitting Properties of Carbon Nanotube Antennas, Operator Theory For Electromagnetics : An Introduction, Infrared and Optical Properties of Carbon Nanotube Dipole Antennas and Nonlocal Continuum Field Theories. Hanson completed his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Lehigh University, followed by an M.S in the same field, from Southern Methodist University. He later went on to obtain a doctoral degree from Michigan State University, studying Electrical Engineering. Hanson currently holds the position of the Professor Chair at the University Of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, in the Department Of Electrical Engineering And Computer Science. His main areas of research interest lie in integrated transmission lines, antennas, and waveguides, and mathematical techniques in electromagnetics.
