Sommario/riassunto

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the best characterized human autoimmune disease and affects approximately 5% of the world's population. Clinically, it is defined by a low platelet count and increased bleeding risk. In this book, international experts provide a rounded overview of the disease and its management.

Sommario/riassunto

A quantum dot molecule (QDM) is composed of two or more closely spaced quantum dots or “artificial atoms.” In recent years, QDMs have received much attention as an emerging new artificial quantum system. The interesting and unique coupling and energy transfer processes between the “artificial atoms” could substantially extend the range of



possible applications of quantum nanostructures. This book reviews recent advances in the exciting and rapidly growing field of QDMs via contributions from some of the most prominent researchers in this scientific community. The book explores many interesting topics such as the epitaxial growth of QDMs, spectroscopic characterization, and QDM transistors, and bridges between the fundamental physics of novel materials and device applications for future information technology. Both theoretical and experimental approaches are considered. Quantum Dot Molecules can be recommended for electrical engineering and materials science department courses on the science and design of advanced and future electronic and optoelectronic devices. Presents the first comprehensive reference focused solely on quantum dot molecules Provides state-of-the-art coverage of novel technologies and techniques Connects fundamental physical properties with device design Features contributions from worldwide leaders in the field.
