Nanoelectronic circuits: from nanoscience to engineering design

This book offers a complete overview of nanocircuit development. It begins byproviding in parts 1 and 2, the foundations of quantum and statistical physics and of circuit theory as a basis to the proceeding discussion of their application to nanocircuits. The theory and practice treated in this book seeks to bridge the existing gap in the literature between conventional circuit synthesis theory and nanoelectronic circuit design. Subsequently, parts 3 and 4 are largely application-based and are focused on the lessons learned by practicing circuit designers who have tried to bridge this gap between device physics andengineering, and integrated circuit design. Examples illustrating the application of the circuit paradigm in the design are presented for: cells of energy harvesting; bio-sensors; memories-processors and transmitters-receivers for information technologies and nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS).Arpad I. Csurgay, Faculty of Information Technology, Pazmany Peter Catholic University, Budapest, Hungary Arpad I. Csurgay is a Professor at the faculty ofInformation Technology, Pazmany Peter Catholic University in Budapest, and also a part time Professor at the Center for Nano Science and Technology at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. Since 1973, he has held the post of Deputy Editor of the International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications (Wiley). Professor Csurgay was the co-organiser (together with Professor Porod) of special sessions on Nanoelectronic Circuits at the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems in 2000, and at the European Conference of Circuit Theory and Design in 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2005.
