Kurzbeschreibung
This authoritative reference addresses IT applications of nanotechnology, specifically computer memory and how the technology can be miniaturised. Aimed at students of physics, electrical engineering and IT, but also of interest to professionals wanting a broader overview.
"Information Technology I" ist der dritte Band der neunbändigen Ausgabe zur Nanotechnologie. Forschungen im Nanobereich haben zur Entwicklung von völlig neuartigen Materialien geführt, die zahlreiche Verwendungen finden können. Das Referenzwerk beinhaltet das gesammelte akademische Wissen zum Thema und schafft die Verbindung zu aktuellen und zukünftigen Anwendungen in Ingenieurwesen, Elektronik, Medizin und Life Sciences, Chemie, Materialwissenschaften und Analytik. Die komplette Ausgabe umfasst acht Bände zu den Hauptthemen der Nanotechnologie und einen Indexband. Die Bände versammeln das gesamte Wissen zu diesem interdisziplinären Thema und ergänzen perfekt die "Kumar"-Reihe, die "Nanomedicine-" und "Nanobiology"-Enzyklopädien sowie alle anderen Titel zur Nanotechnologie aus den Verlagsprogrammen von Wiley und Wiley-VCH. Herausgeber dieses dritten Bandes ist Rainer Waser. Er arbeitet als Physikprofessor an der RWTH in Aachen und ist Direktor des Instituts für Festkörperforschung am Forschungszentrum Jülich.

In 1984, he received his PhD in physical chemistry at the University of Darmstadt, and worked at the Philips Research Laboratory, Aachen, until he was appointed professor in 1992.
His research group is focused on fundamental aspects of electronic materials and on such integrated devices as non-volatile memories, specifically ferroelectric and resistive memories, logic devices, sensors and actuators. Throughout, he has been collaborating with major semiconductor industries in Europe, the US, and the Far East. He is member of the Emerging Research Devices working group of the ITRS.
He has organized several international conferences, published about 250 technical papers and holds ten patents. Among others, he has edited the book Nanoelectronics and Information Technology - Advanced Electronic Materials and Novel Devices, which has been published in 2003 by Wiley Inc.
Since 2002, he has been the coordinator of the research program Nanoelectronic Systems within the Germany National Research Centers (Helmholtz Association). In 2007, he has been co-founded of the Jülich-Aachen Research Alliance, section Fundamentals of Future Information Technology (JARA-FIT).
