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... Read more

Biography

Professor Arora, noted international educator and IEEE-EDS Distinguished Lecturer, obtained his Ph.D from the University of Colorado. He has held distinguished appointments at the University of Tokyo, National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, University of Western Australia, and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. His publications include more than 100 papers in reputed journals and many uncounted publications in conference proceedings. Professor Arora serves on the editorial board of a number of journals. He was chair of Nano Singapore 2006, Nanotech Malaysia 2010, and Escience Nano 2012 conferences.

"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…"
—Dr. Michael Loong Peng Tan, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

"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."
