Opis

This book, written by two pioneers in the field, provides a clear and concise description of memristors and other memory elements. It stresses the difference between their mathematical definition and physical reality. The reader will then be able to distinguish between what is experimentally realizable and various fictitious claims that plague the scientific literature. The discussion is kept simple enough that the book should be easily accessible not only to graduate students and researchers in Physics and Engineering, but also to undergraduate students interested in this topic. 

O autorze

Massimiliano Di Ventra and Yuriy Pershin are both experts in the area of memristors and other memory elements (such as memcapacitors and meminductors). They started to work in this field in 2008, and have followed it since then. They introduced memcapacitors and meminductors together with Chua, experimentally demonstrated the first memristive neural network, and pioneered the use ofmemory elements in analog electronics and memcomputing. More recently, they introduced a memristor test that helps resolve the controversy about the discovery of the memristor. They have published over 60 papers on this topic which have garnered more than 6000 citations in total. MD has published four books: Introduction to Nanoscale Science and Technology, Springer, 2004; Electrical Transport in Nanoscale Systems, Cambridge University Press, 2008; The Scientific Method: Reflections from a Practitioner, Oxford University Press, 2018; and MemComputing: Fundamentals and Applications, Oxford University Press, 2022.
