Books in the Nano and Energy series

With a focus on cutting-edge research, this book covers advanced nanoelectronics concepts, state-of-the-art techniques for nanodevice modeling and simulation, and applications of these models in science and engineering. The text first introduces the basic concepts to help you understand nanostructures and nanotransistors, including nanoquantum fundamentals. It then discusses in detail nanodevice characteristics and nanoscale device models. It also presents an extensive discussion of carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoribbons, silicon nanowire, and strained technology. The book ends with a look at the challenges that face the commercialization of nanoelectronics.

The textbook provides a comprehensive overview of smart grids, their role in the development of electricity systems, as well as issues and problems related to smart grid evolution, operation, management, control, protection, entities, and components.

No longer the hidden genius of scientists, nanotechnology is now appearing in products manufactured for everyday life. Focusing on the transition of new nanomaterial technology to the commercial market, this book presents a nanotech commercialization framework that will enable partnership development between research universities, businesses, and investors. The author argues that it is imperative to direct commercial nano development into legitimate business channels and to nurture development in a standardized environment. The text aims to eliminate the commercialization gap between business and technology, providing a structure for industry growth and highlighting new business opportunities for technology applications.
