[Audio] Nanostructured Electronic Devices: Percolation and Reliability: Recent Episodes

Muhammad A. Alam

In this series of lectures introduces a simple theoretical framework for treating randomness and variability in emerging nanostructured electronic devices for wide ranging applications – all within an unified framework of spatial and temporal percolation. The problems considered involve...
