Review:
"... is an outstanding compendium of information about an exciting new field. Owing to its high quality and complete coverage of the many topics in this area, this well referenced book will have a long and very useful life as a primary text for students experienced and new in nanoelectronics. It is a very impressive book."
Prof. Richard Siegel, US Nano-Initiative
"The editor and contributing authors obviously did an excellent job in compiling this book. ... This is a well-written textbook covering a very broad spectrum of topics related to materials and devices. The editor brought together an impressive group of experts to write on their own fields. ... The book is very well structured. Each section starts with a general introduction to prepare readers with general background and concepts as well as a guide to the following individual chapters. ... I am sure that I shall consult this book frequently for both research and teaching."
