Metal Oxides for Next Generation Optoelectronic, Photonic and Photovoltaic Applications focuses on the optoelectronic, photonic and photovoltaic behaviors of metallic oxides and closely related phenomena, from elementary principles to the latest findings. Each chapter includes a comprehensive evaluation of the synthesis and characterization of the most relevant metal oxides nanostructures for each application. In addition, there is a focus on methods to tune the materials’ properties in order to improve devices performance.  This book is suitable for researchers and practitioners in academia and industry working in the disciplines of materials science and engineering, chemistry and physics. Metal oxides are widely used in various optoelectronic devices, photonics, display devices, smart windows, sensors, optical components, energy-saving, and harvesting devices. Each application requires materials with their own specific properties. By controlling the particle size, shape, crystal structure, one can tune various properties of metal oxides viz. bandgap, absorption properties, conductivity, which alter the material for the specific application.

BSIM-Bulk MOSFET Model for IC Design - Digital, Analog, RF and High-Voltage provides in-depth knowledge of the internal operation of the model. The authors not only discuss the fundamental core of the model, but also provide details of the recent developments and new real-device effect models. In addition, the book covers the parameter extraction procedures, addressing geometrical scaling, temperatures, and more. There is also a dedicated chapter on extensive quality testing procedures and experimental results. This book discusses every aspect of the model in detail, and hence will be of significant use for the industry and academia. Those working in the semiconductor industry often run into a variety of problems like model non-convergence or non-physical simulation results. This is largely due to a limited understanding of the internal operations of the model as literature and technical manuals are insufficient. This also creates huge difficulty in developing their own IP models. Similarly, circuit designers and researcher across the globe need to know new features available to them so that the circuits can be more efficiently designed.

Nanotechnology-based E-Noses reviews advances in nanomaterials and their modification for use in e-sensors. "E-noses" or "electronic sensors" are emerging as advanced technologies for the fast detection of chemicals, gases, and explosives. The concept behind the "e-nose" is similar to the capability of humans and dogs in detecting materials based on odors. Nanomaterials can be used for e-nose technologies but their properties must be modified to make them effective sensors. The sensing capability and performance of these materials depend on several factors, such as morphology, dopants, microadditives, design of sensors, phase, and structure of the nanomaterials. Theoretical understanding of nanomaterials and technologies for improving sensors with better detection limits are covered. The most relevant nanomaterials, their synthesis strategies, and the relationship between properties and device performance are provided. Current state-of-the-art progress in nanotechnology device fabrication along with directions for future applications and challenges are discussed.
