Constructs fundamental models of microsystems to allow the reader to develop intuition about the microworld simple setting Clarifies the origins of numerical difficulties and suggests techniques to overcome them Contains a brief overview of current research directions and open questions at the end of each chapter Designing small structures necessitates an understanding of various device behaviors. The way to gain that understanding is to build, analyze, and interpret the proper mathematical models. Through such models, this book illuminates microscale and nanoscale phenomena, and thereby...
