Nano electronics books...

One year back when i started in my venture into the nano world, the main difficulty which i faced to go ahead is proper guidance. Neways i managed to get hold of some books which indeed helped me to get some very basic knowledge in the field of nanotechnology although nothing as such in particular. In this post I ll mention name of a few books which i been through very recently and have found them to be very useful and am proud to share with you.


Well i started off my venture with a book which i dont think is of dat imprtance to mention, but since it was my first book i ll mention it
# a book by appin international - Nanotechnology

Well about the beginning i suppose any basic book, which talks about Nanotechnology, its future prospects, its pros, cons and some very basic theories will do.
# Nanoconvergence - The Unity of Nanoscience, Biotechnology, Information Technology and Cognitive Science by William Sims Bainbridge
# Inroduction to Nanotechnology by Charles Poole, Franks J Owens. Wiley
# Nanophysics and Nanotechnolgy by Edward L. Wolf
Besides you can go through any book which you think can provide with a proper idea about the present scenario in the field of nanotechnolgy. Remember this is a very basic step and the most important step in your journey because this steps helps you decide which field you wanna go - nanobiotechnology or nanoelectronics or nanomaterials. The power to choose entirely resides on , it all depends on your interest in the field you interested in in.

Now once you get decided in the topic it becomes a bit clear as as in whatz next?? Well this is where you need to go through a lot of research paper and books based on the basics you know. I think its better to take the guidance of a teacher if u can access one, else you can join forums on nanotechnolgy and take advice from them. To mention one try http://nanohub.org - a project by Purdue University. It has a lot of video lectures, simulation tools, teachin aids and best thing a lot of teachers involved. Check my previous blog entry for more details on the website. They are indeed helpful.

Here i ll be only be able to list some of the books on basic nanoelectronics as i am presently studying in the field of nanoelectronics basically. To name a few books
# Fundamentals of Nanoelectronics by George W Hanson
# Silicon Nanoelectronics by S Oda and D Ferry -a account of the recent developements in the field.
# Fundamentals of Semi-conductor devices by Edward S yang
# Nanotechnolgy for electronic material and devices by Korkin, Labanowski, Gusev, Luryi. Springer
Besides for more study in the field of single electron devices i would prefer the ieee paper or research materials which i suppose one can get in ample quantity on internet.

Lastly i would like to give a advice to all. Remember when you start a topic on your own you might feel bored or frustrated, but beleive me if u wanna really know the field and you try and put in a little effort, you will see in no time you are quite comfortable and its really interesting.

Do share information on any books or journals or papers if you hav. In my next post i ll try sharing some of the papers which i collected.
