Nanoscale Electronic Device Applications of Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene, Silicene and Molybdenum Disulfide (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781032634111)

This book covers the latest advancements in the field of nanoelectronics using most popular low dimensional materials, namely carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, silicene, and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), that dem¬onstrate how high electron mobility, quantum confinement effects, and low power consumption make them as essential substitutes for traditional silicon based devices in applications ranging from logic gates and memories to sensors and energy storage. Furthermore, the concepts discussed herein are crucial for realizing cutting edge fields like nanophotonics, nanoscale circuit design, and the hardware implementation of future technologies.
