Synopsis

This consistent and comprehensive text is unique in providing an informed insight into molecular electronics by contrasting the prospects for molecular scale electronics with the continuing development of the inorganic semiconductor industry. Providing a wealth of information on the subject from background material to possible applications, Molecular Electronics contains all the need to know information in one easily accessible place. Speculation about future developments has also been included to give the whole picture of this increasingly popular and important topic.

About the Author

Michael C. Petty, Professor of Engineering and Co-Directorof Centre for Molecular and Nanoscale Electronics, University ofDurham, UK
Michael Petty graduated from the University of Sussex with a BSc(First Class Honours) in Electronics. He subsequently obtained hisPhD from Imperial College, University of London for work on theelectrical and optical properties of semiconducting inorganic thinfilms. More recently, his research activities have expanded toencompass thin films, in particular Langmuir-Blodgett films, oforganic materials. He has a special interest in the application ofsuch thin layers to electronic and opto-electronic devices.Professor Petty has lectured extensively worldwide and publishedover 250 papers in these subjects. In 1994, he was awarded the DScdegree from the University of Sussex.
Professor Petty is the UK editor of the Elsevier Journal ofMaterials Science and Engineering C and Co-Director of theDurham Centre for Molecular and Nanoscale Electronics. He wasChairman of the School of Engineering at Durham University from Jan1997 to Aug 2000.

From the Back Cover

Molecular electronics is a fast moving and exciting subject thatexploits the electronic and optoelectronic properties of organicand biological materials. Areas of application and potentialapplication range from chemical and biochemical sensors to plasticlight emitting displays.
