MOLECULAR ELECTRONICS: COMMERCIAL INSIGHTS, CHEMISTRY, DEVICES, ARCHITECTURE, AND PROGRAMMING (Hardcover)

Hardcover. This book presents an in-depth discussion on molecular electronics in an easy-to-understand manner, aiming at chemists, computer scientists, surface scientists, physicists, and applied mathematicians. Lighter overviews are provided for the science-minded layperson and the high tech entrepreneur in this nanoscale science. The author has included a detailed synthetic chemistry treasure chest, protocols of self-assembling routes for bottom-up fabrication atop silicon platforms, representative currentvoltage and memory readouts from molecular devices, and overviews of present architectural and mathematical approaches to programming molecular computing machines. The investment and commercial insertion landscape is painted along with a "Who's Who" in the molecular electronics business space. Advice and forewarnings are provided in a practical yet witty manner for the aspiring academic corporate founder and the business CEO wannabe seeking to establish a high tech company while wading through the idiosyncratic morass of university personalities and university-owned intellectual property. An in-depth discussion of molecular electronics. It includes a detailed synthetic chemistry treasure chest; protocols of self-assembling routes for bottom-up fabrication atop silicon platforms; representative current-voltage and memory readouts from molecular devices; and more.
