“The contributors are well known scientists in their field under the leading authority of truly famous scientists acting as Editors. The chapters are written very clearly, having a very generous bibliography and useful illustrations.” (Prof. Ioan I. Ardelean, Bulletin of Micro and Nanoelectrotechnologies, Vol. 7 (3-4), 2015)
