"Explore the frontier of device engineering by applying optimization to nanoscience and device design. This cutting-edge work shows how robust, manufacturable designs that meet previously unobtainable system specifications can be created using a combination of modern computer power, adaptive algorithms, and realistic device-physics models. Applying this method to nanoscience is a path to creating new devices with new functionality, and it could be the key design element in making nanoscience a practical technology. Basic introductory examples along with MATLAB code are included, through to more formal and sophisticated approaches, and specific applications and designs are examined. Essential reading for researchers and engineers in electronic devices, nanoscience, materials science, applied mathematics, and applied physics"--Provided by publisher.
"Dramatic advances in the control of physical systems at the atomic scale have provided many new ways to manufacture devices. An important question is how best to design these ultra-small complex systems. Access to vast amounts of inexpensive computing power makes it possible to accurately simulate their physical properties. Furthermore, high-performance computers allow us to explore the large number of degrees of freedom with which to construct new device configurations. This book aims to lay the groundwork for a methodology to exploit these emerging capabilities using optimal device design. By combining applied mathematics, smart computation, physical modeling, and 21st century engineering and fabrication tools it is possible to find atomic and nano-scale configurations that result in components with performance characteristics that have not been achieved using other methods"--Provided by publisher.
