This book offers a complete overview of nanocircuit development. It begins by providing in parts 1 and 2, the foundations of quantum and statistical physics and of circuit theory as a basis to the proceeding discussion of their application to nanocircuits. The theory and practice treated in this book seeks to bridge the existing gap in the literature between conventional circuit synthesis theory and nanoelectronic circuit design. Subsequently, parts 3 and 4 are largely application-based and are focused on the lessons learned by practicing circuit designers who have tried to bridge this gap between device physics and engineering, and integrated circuit design. Examples illustrating the application of the circuit paradigm in the design are presented for: cells of energy harvesting; bio-sensors; memories-processors and transmitters-receivers for information technologies and nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS). Bridges the existing gap in the literature between conventional circuit synthesis theory and nanoelectronic circuit design. Offers a complete learning path to readers as they progress from physics to nanocircuit design, and thus enabling the creation of skills to apply nanosciences in engineering design activity. Written by leading researchers in the relatively new and developing field of nanoelectronics. Includes a companion website containing circuit models and simulators, and worked examples with the aid of Mathematica.
