Publisher's Synopsis
The field of molecular electronics is increasingly being recognized by the international scientific community as the next logical step in the quest for information gathering/processing machines that are ever smaller, ever faster, and less expensive than their predecessors. This book offers a broad view of the emerging concepts, methods and techniques in this rapidly growing field. The aim of this symposium was to highlight experimental progress in the synthesis of nanocomposite structures as well as the generation, transport and control of signals in such structures. The fine work documented in this volume provides ample evidence of the steady progress being made toward the realization of practical molecular electronic devices.
