Preface

The Nano and Giga Challenges (NGC) conference series has had a long tradition of tutorial lectures given by world-renowned researchers. As early as the first forum in Moscow, Russia, in 2002, the organizers realized that publication of the lectures notes from NGC2002 would be a valuable legacy of the meeting and a significant educational resource and knowledge base for students, young researchers, and experts alike. Our first book was published by Elsevier and named after the meeting itself—Nano and Giga Challenges in Microelectronics [1]. Our subsequent books based on the tutorial lectures of the NGCM2004 [2], NGC2007 [3], NGC2009 [4], NGC2011 [5], and the current book derived from the NGC2014 conference have been published by Springer in the Nanostructure Science
