Summary
Summary
Explaining the properties and performance of practical nanotube devices and related applications, this is the first introductory textbook on the subject. All the fundamental concepts are introduced, so that readers without an advanced scientific background can follow all the major ideas and results. Additional topics covered include nanotube transistors and interconnects, and the basic physics of graphene. Problem sets at the end of every chapter allow readers to test their knowledge of the material covered and gain a greater understanding of the analytical skill sets developed in the text. This is an ideal textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in semiconductor device physics and nanoelectronics. It is also a perfect self-study guide for professional device engineers and researchers.

Choice Review
The development of carbon-based electronics (specifically graphene) resulted in the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics for Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, and interest in these materials continues to grow. In this title, Wong (Stanford Univ.) and Akinwande (Univ. of Texas, Austin) provide a comprehensive, and first of its kind, primer on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene. Following a detailed history of these materials, the authors take the reader through reviews on quantum mechanics, materials science, and electrical engineering, all while applying these topics directly to CNTs and graphene. This book is a good reference for those in the field, and an excellent study for those interested in getting involved in this area. Though it is a comprehensive tutorial of carbon electronics (especially CNTs), the book will be most useful for readers with a general background in quantum physics and electronics.
