Wearable Bioelectronics presents the latest on physical and
(bio)chemical sensing for wearable electronics. It covers the
miniaturization of bioelectrodes and high-throughput biosensing
platforms while also presenting a systemic approach for the
development of electrochemical biosensors and bioelectronics for
biomedical applications. The book addresses the fundamentals,
materials, processes and devices for wearable bioelectronics,
showcasing key applications, including device fabrication,
manufacturing, and healthcare applications. Topics covered include
self-powering wearable bioelectronics, electrochemical transducers,
textile-based biosensors, epidermal electronics and other exciting
applications.
Energy and power are fundamental concepts in electromagnetism and
circuit theory, as well as in optics, signal processing, power
engineering, electrical machines, and power electronics. However,
in crossing the disciplinary borders, we encounter understanding
difficulties due to (1) the many possible mathematical
representations of the same physical objects, and (2) the many
possible physical interpretations of the same mathematical
entities. The monograph proposes a quantum and a relativistic
approach to electromagnetic power theory that is based on recent
advances in physics and mathematics. The book takes a fresh look at
old debates related to the significance of the Poynting theorem and
the interpretation of reactive power. Reformulated in the
mathematical language of geometric algebra, the new expression of
electromagnetic power reflects the laws of conservation of
energy-momentum in fields and circuits. The monograph offers a
mathematically consistent and a physically coherent interpretation
of the power concept and of the mechanism of power transmission at
the subatomic (mesoscopic) level. The monograph proves
(paraphrasing Heaviside) that there is no finality in the
development of a vibrant discipline: power theory.
Dielectric Metamaterials: Fundamentals, Designs, and Applications
links fundamental Mie scattering theory with the latest dielectric
metamaterial research, providing a valuable reference for new and
experienced researchers in the field. The book begins with a
historical, evolving overview of Mie scattering theory. Next, the
authors describe how to apply Mie theory to analytically solve the
scattering of electromagnetic waves by subwavelength particles.
Later chapters focus on Mie resonator-based metamaterials, starting
with microwaves where particles are much smaller than the free
space wavelengths. In addition, several chapters focus on
wave-front engineering using dielectric metasurfaces and the
nonlinear optical effects, spontaneous emission manipulation,
active devices, and 3D effective media using dielectric
metamaterials.
Smartphone Based Medical Diagnostics provides the theoretical
background and practical applications for leveraging the strengths
of smartphones toward a host of different diagnostics, including,
but not limited to, optical sensing, electrochemical detection,
integration with other devices, data processing, data sharing and
storage. The book also explores the translational, regulatory and
commercialization challenges of smartphone incorporation into
point-of-care medical diagnostics and food safety settings.
Optical Holography: Materials, Theory and Applications provides
researchers the fundamentals of holography through diffraction
optics and an overview of the most relevant materials and
applications, ranging from computer holograms to holographic data
storage. Dr. Pierre Blanche leads a team of thought leaders in
academia and industry in this practical reference for researchers
and engineers in the field of holography. This book presents all
the information readers need in order to understand how holographic
techniques can be applied to a variety of applications, the
benefits of those techniques, and the materials that enable these
technologies. Researchers and engineers will gain comprehensive
knowledge on how to select the best holographic techniques for
their needs.
2D Semiconductor Materials and Devices reviews the basic science
and state-of-art technology of 2D semiconductor materials and
devices. Chapters discuss the basic structure and properties of 2D
semiconductor materials, including both elemental (silicene,
phosphorene) and compound semiconductors (transition metal
dichalcogenide), the current growth and characterization methods of
these 2D materials, state-of-the-art devices, and current and
potential applications.
Solution Methods for Metal Oxide Nanostructures reviews solution
processes that are used for synthesizing 1D, 2D and 3D metal oxide
nanostructures in either thin film or in powder form for various
applications. Wet-chemical synthesis methods deal with chemical
reactions in the solution phase using precursors at proper
experimental conditions. Wet-chemical synthesis routes offer a high
degree of controllability and reproducibility for 2D nanomaterial
fabrication. Solvothermal synthesis, template synthesis,
self-assembly, oriented attachment, hot-injection, and
interface-mediated synthesis are the main wet-chemical synthesis
routes for 2D nanomaterials. Solution Methods for Metal Oxide
Nanostructures also addresses the thin film deposition metal oxides
nanostructures, which plays a very important role in many areas of
chemistry, physics and materials science. Each chapter includes
information on a key solution method and their application in the
design of metal oxide nanostructured materials with optimized
properties for important applications. The pros and cons of the
solution method and their significance and future scope is also
discussed in each chapter. Readers are provided with the
fundamental understanding of the key concepts of solution synthesis
methods for fabricating materials and the information needed to
help them select the appropriate method for the desired
application.

Semiconductors and Modern Electronics is a brief introduction to
the physics behind semiconductor technologies. Chuck Winrich, a
physics professor at Babson College, explores the topic of
semiconductors from a qualitative approach to understanding the
theories and models used to explain semiconductor devices.
Applications of semiconductors are explored and understood through
the models developed in the book. The qualitative approach in this
book is intended to bring the advanced ideas behind semiconductors
to the broader audience of students who will not major in physics.
Much of the inspiration for this book comes from Dr. Winrich's
experience teaching a general electronics course to students
majoring in business. The goal of that class, and this book, is to
bring forward the science behind semiconductors, and then to look
at how that science affects the lives of people.

text is the fusion of engineering, radiology, and surgical
principles into one book.
