Thisarea is highlyinterdisciplinaryandembraces thecross-section ofphysics ofcondensed matter, materials science andelectrical engineering. Undisputedlyduring thesecondhalf ofthiscenturyworldsocietyisrapidlychanging owingtothe revolutionary impact ofnew solid-state based concepts. Underlying this spectacular product devel- opment is a steady progress in solid-state electronics, an area of applied physics exploiting basic physical concepts established during the first half of this century. Since their invention, transistors of various types and their corresponding integrated circuits (ICs) have been widely exploited cov- ering progress in such areas as microminiaturization, megabit complexity, gigabit speed, accurate data conversion and/or high powerapplications. In addition, a growing number of devices are being developed exploiting the interaction between electrons and radiation, heat, pressure, etc., preferably by merging with ICs. Possible themes are (sub)micron structures and nanostructures (applying thin layers, multi’layers and multi-dimensional configurations); micro-optic and micro-(electro)mechanical devices; high- temperature superconducting devices; high-speed and high-frequency electronicdevices; sensors and actuators; and integrated opto-electronic devices (glass-fibre communications, optical recording and storage, flat-panel displays). The texts will be of a levelsuitable for graduate students, researchers in the above fields, practitioners engineers, consultants, etc., with an emphasis on readability, clarity, relevance and applicability. The titles published in this series are listed at the end of this volume.
