From the Back Cover

Quantum Materials, Devices, and Applications covers the advances made in quantum technologies both in research and mass production for applications in electronics, photonics, sensing, biomedical, environmental, and agricultural applications. It includes new materials, new device structures which are commercially available, and many more which are at the advanced research stage.

The study of what are now called low dimensional structures (LDS) began in the late 1970s when sufficiently thin epitaxial layers were first produced following developments in the technology of epitaxial growth of semiconductors, mainly pioneered in industrial laboratories for device purposes. The LDS are materials structures whose dimensions are comparable with interatomic distances in solids. At the inception of their investigation it was already clear that such structures were of great scientific interest and excitement and their novel properties caused by quantum effects offered potential for applications in new devices. Moreover, these complex LDS offer device engineers new design opportunities for tailor-made new generation devices.

The book reviews the most relevant current and emerging materials and device structures, organized by key applications. It covers existing devices and technologies and future possibilities within a common framework of high-performance quantum devices, which have already an impact on our every-day life and those that will form the basis for longer-term technology development.

Quantum Materials, Devices, and Applications is suitable for researchers and practitioners in academia and industry and the materials science and engineering, electrical engineering, and physics disciplines.
