Chennupati Jagadish There is a significant difference between VLSI (very large scale integration) micro/nanoelectronics and VLSI micro/nanophotonics. This book is about the latter, which is meant to define photonic devices, circuits and subsystems in small sizes reaching down in scale to micron, submicron, nano-scale, and quantum-scale dimensions. This book examines issues concerning three essential steps in this technology: miniaturization, interconnection, and integration of microphotonic devices, circuits and systems in micron or submicron scale. It highlights the technology’s advantages with respect to size as well as its ability to offer new and unexplored functions toward new applications. Catalog no.

Not only is this the first text devoted to electroviscoelasticity, but it also describes a new theory developed through the authors’ research. This theory is likely to impact other research and applications as the modeling of liquid-liquid interfaces is key to numerous chemical manufacturing processes including those for emulsions, suspensions, nanopowders, foams, biocoloids, and plasmas. As the authors cover phenomena at the micro, nano, and atto-scales, their techniques as well as their data will be of particular interest to nanoscientists. The authors provide substantial data to support their theory and consider its implications especially with regard to the breaking of emulsions.
Microfluidics-based biochips combine electronics with biochemistry for newly emerging application areas such as point-of-care medical diagnostics, on-chip DNA analysis, automated drug discovery, and protein crystallization. This book envisions an automated design flow for microfluidic biochips. It offers newly designed automation solutions for problems unique to digital microfluidics. The authors provide a comprehensive methodology for the automated design, test, and use of robust and low-cost manufactured digital microfluidic systems. Using real-life bioassays as examples, they offer a comprehensive set of practical methodologies and tools for chip design and manufacture.

It discusses processing, properties, and performance and provides a detailed analysis of theories and size effects. The book presents the fundamentals of hard and superhard nanocomposites and heterostructures, assesses fracture toughness and interfacial adhesion strength of thin films and hard nanocomposite coatings, and covers the processing and mechanical properties of hybrid sol-gel-derived nanocomposite coatings. It also uses nanomechanics to optimize coatings for cutting tools and explores various other coatings, such as diamond, metal-containing amorphous carbon nanostructured, and transition metal nitridebased nanolayered multilayer coatings.
This book focuses on functional properties, including optical, electronic, and electrical properties, as well as related devices and applications. It explores the large-scale fabrication of functional thin films with nanoarchitecture via chemical routes, the fabrication and characterization of SiC nanostructured/ nanocomposite films, and low-dimensional nanocomposite fabrication and applications. The book also presents the properties of sol-gel-derived nanostructured thin films as well as silicon nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 matrix and amorphous SiO2 matrix. It concludes with chapters on controlled micro/ nanostructured films and devices and thin film shape memory alloy for microsystem applications.
