"Version: 20180301"--Title page verso.Includes bibliographical references (pages 13-14).1. Introduction -- 2. Background -- Zero-dimensional materials -- One-dimensional materials -- Two-dimensional materials -- 3. Current directions -- Harnessing light -- Sensing the environment -- Memory and computing -- 4. Outlook.Nanomaterials are changing the world we live in, and one of the most exciting applications they can have is the creation of new electronic devices. But what are they, how can we build devices from them, and how can nanoelectronics give us new ways to interact with light, our environments and even our brains? This ebook will explore the unique physics of different types of nanomaterials, and lay out different devices that harness this unique physics to create optoelectronic components, chemical sensors, and novel paradigms for memory and computing. After outlining the current state of the art, the final section looks to grand challenges and opportunities in nanoelectronics.Final-year undergraduates, new PhD students and early-career scientists.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Jessamyn A Fairfield is a lecturer in the School of Physics at the National University of Ireland Galway. She received her bachelor's degree from the University of California Berkeley (2005) and her PhD in physics from the University of Pennsylvania (2011), completing her postdoctoral research at Trinity College Dublin. Her research is focused on electronic devices made from nanowires and nanocrystals that emulate synaptic behaviour, for incorporation into medical implants and interfaces. In addition to research and teaching, she is a writer, comedian and public speaker. She runs Bright Club in Ireland, the research and comedy variety night, and appears frequently on the radio talking about science.Title from PDF title page (viewed on April 5, 2018).
