Report
"This book will enable Physics and Engineering students to understand the most important underlying physics of modern nanoelectronics." --Prof Jian-Ping Wang, Director for The Center for Micromagnetic and Information Technologies (MINT), University of Minnesota, USA
"We can see in this book that in the fields of spintronics and graphene, science and technology are close to each other; fancy ideas from pure theory can be directly measured or even be used for applications. The role of gauge theory and topological structure is emphasized in this book." --Prof Shuichi Murakami, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan
"An excellent contribution to the fast-expanding field of nano-electronics. It is my pleasure to recommend this book to all researchers and students who are working in the field." --Prof Yong Jiang, University of Science and Technology Beijing, China
