“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 nd interesting
no matter where they nd it…”
—Dr. Michael Loong Peng Tan, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
Brings 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.
Unies 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 conditions. In
addition, it highlights a new paradigm using the nonequilibrium Arora’s distribution
function (NEADF) and establishes this function as the starting point (from band theory
to equilibrium to extreme nonequilibrium carrier statistics). The author focuses on
nanoelectronic device design and development, including carbon-based devices, and
provides you with a vantage point for the global outlook on the future of nanoelectronics
devices and ULSI.
Encompassing ten chapters, this illuminating text:
• Converts the electric-eld response of drift velocity into current–voltage
relationships that are driven by the presence of critical voltage and saturation
current arising from the unidirectional drift of carriers
• Applies the effect of these scaled-down
dimensions to nano-MOSFETs (metal–oxide–
semiconductor eld-effect transistors)
• Considers specialized applications that can be
tried through a number of suggested projects
that are all feasible with MATLAB
