The success of spintronics - the science and technology of storing,
processing, sensing and communicating information using the quantum
mechanical spin degree of freedom of an electron - is critically
dependent on the ability to inject, detect and manipulate spins in
semiconductors either by incorporating ferromagnetic materials into
device architectures or by using external magnetic and electric
fields. In spintronics, the controlled generation and manipulation
of spin polarization in nonmagnetic semiconductors is required for
the design of spin-sensitive devices ranging from spin-qubit hosts,
quantum memory and gates, quantum teleporters, spin polarizers and
filters, spin-field-effect-transistors, and spin-splitters, among
others. One of the major challenges of spintronics is to control
the creation, manipulation, and detection of spin polarized
currents by purely electrical means. Another challenge is to
preserve spin coherence in a device for the longest time or over
the longest distance in order to produce reliable spintronic
processors. These challenges remain daunting, but some progress has
been made recently in overcoming some of the steepest obstacles.
This book covers some of the recent advances in the field of
spintronics using semiconductors.

There are fundamental and technological limits of conventional
microfabrication and microelectronics. Scaling down conventional
devices and attempts to develop novel topologies and architectures
will soon be ineffective or unachievable at the device and system
levels to ensure desired performance. Forward-looking experts
continue to search for new paradigms to carry the field beyond the
age of microelectronics, and molecular electronics is one of the
most promising candidates. The Nano and Molecular Electronics
Handbook surveys the current state of this exciting, emerging field
and looks toward future developments and opportunities. Molecular
and Nano Electronics Explained Explore the fundamentals of device
physics, synthesis, and design of molecular processing platforms
and molecular integrated circuits within three-dimensional
topologies, organizations, and architectures as well as bottom-up
fabrication utilizing quantum effects and unique phenomena.
Technology in Progress Stay current with the latest results and
practical solutions realized for nanoscale and molecular
electronics as well as biomolecular electronics and memories. Learn
design concepts, device-level modeling, simulation methods, and
fabrication technologies used for today's applications and beyond.
Reports from the Front Lines of Research Expert innovators discuss
the results of cutting-edge research and provide informed and
insightful commentary on where this new paradigm will lead. The
Nano and Molecular Electronics Handbook ranks among the most
complete and authoritative guides to the past, present, and future
of this revolutionary area of theory and technology.
