Future Trends in Microelectronics

Part IINew Materials and New Physics

What could be more powerful in propelling the advances in our profession than the development of new materials and findings of new physics? While graphene still gets most of the spotlight on the stage, other atom-thin materials might bring even greater rewards, whereas the ever-present surface waves may have begun to gain more attention, thanks in part to the pioneering contributions of Dyakonov. Under all the waves lie interesting interplays of electrons and atoms that give rise to extraordinary transitions among metal, insulator, localization, distributed and correlated, and even computational states. No less intriguing and surprising are the reports of light emission from brand new material systems, as readers will find in this chapter.
