Nanotechnology Applications to Telecommunications and Networking [PDF ebook] 

Be a part of the nanotechnology revolution in
telecommunications

This book provides a unique and thought-provoking perspective on
how nanotechnology is poised to revolutionize the
telecommunications, computing, and networking industries. The
author discusses emerging technologies as well as technologies
under development that will lay the foundation for such innovations
as:

* Nanomaterials with novel optical, electrical, and magnetic
properties

* Faster and smaller non-silicon-based chipsets, memory, and
processors

* New-science computers based on Quantum Computing

* Advanced microscopy and manufacturing systems

* Faster and smaller telecom switches, including optical
switches

* Higher-speed transmission phenomena based on plasmonics and other
quantum-level phenomena

* Nanoscale MEMS: micro-electro-mechanical systems

The author of this cutting-edge publication has played a role in
the development of actual nanotechnology-based communication
systems. In this book, he examines a broad range of the science of
nanotechnology and how this field will affect every facet of the
telecommunications and computing industries, in both the near and
far term, including:

* Basic concepts of nanotechnology and its applications

* Essential physics and chemistry underlying nanotechnology
science

* Nanotubes, nanomaterials, and nanomaterial processing

* Promising applications in nanophotonics, including nanocrystals
and nanocrystal fibers

* Nanoelectronics, including metal nanoclusters, semiconducting
nanoclusters, nanocrystals, nanowires, and quantum dots

This book is written for telecommunications professionals,
researchers, and students who need to discover and exploit emerging
revenue-generating opportunities to develop the next generation of
nanoscale telecommunications and network systems. Non-scientists
will find the treatment completely accessible. A detailed glossary
clarifies unfamiliar terms and concepts. Appendices are provided
for readers who want to delve further into the hard-core science,
including nanoinstrumentation and quantum computing.

Nanotechnology is the next industrial revolution, and the
telecommunications industry will be radically transformed by it in
a few years. This is the publication that readers need to
understand how that transformation will happen, the science behind
it, and how they can be a part of it.
