Introduction to Logic Circuits & Logic Design with VHDL
by Brock J. LaMeresThis textbook introduces readers to the fundamental hardware used in modern computers. The only pre-requisite is algebra, so it can be taken by college freshman or sophomore students or even used in Advanced Placement courses in high school. This book presents both the classical approach to digital system design (i.e., pen and paper) in addition to the modern hardware description language (HDL) design approach (computer-based). This textbook enables readers to design digital systems using the modern HDL approach while ensuring they have a solid foundation of knowledge of the underlying hardware and theory of their designs. This book is designed to match the way the material is actually taught in the classroom. Topics are presented in a manner which builds foundational knowledge before moving onto advanced topics. The author has designed the content with learning goals and assessment at its core. Each section addresses a specific learning outcome that the learner should be able to “do” after its completion. The concept checks and exercise problems provide a rich set of assessment tools to measure learner performance on each outcome. This book can be used for either a sequence of two courses consisting of an introduction to logic circuits (Chapters 1-7) followed by logic design (Chapters 8-13) or a single, accelerated course that uses the early chapters as reference material.

Introduction to Magnetic Random-Access Memory
by Bernard Dieny Kyung-Jin Lee Ronald B. GoldfarbMagnetic random-access memory (MRAM) is poised to replace traditional computer memory based on complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS). MRAM will surpass all other types of memory devices in terms of nonvolatility, low energy dissipation, fast switching speed, radiation hardness, and durability. Although toggle-MRAM is currently a commercial product, it is clear that future developments in MRAM will be based on spin-transfer torque, which makes use of electrons' spin angular momentum instead of their charge. MRAM will require an amalgamation of magnetics and microelectronics technologies. However, researchers and developers in magnetics and in microelectronics attend different technical conferences, publish in different journals, use different tools, and have different backgrounds in condensed-matter physics, electrical engineering, and materials science. This book is an introduction to MRAM for microelectronics engineers written by specialists in magnetic materials and devices. It presents the basic phenomena involved in MRAM, the materials and film stacks being used, the basic principles of the various types of MRAM (toggle and spin-transfer torque; magnetized in-plane or perpendicular-to-plane), the back-end magnetic technology, and recent developments toward logic-in-memory architectures. It helps bridge the cultural gap between the microelectronics and magnetics communities.

Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering
by Yip-Wah Chung Monica KapoorOur civilization owes its most significant milestones to our use of materials. Metals gave us better agriculture and eventually the industrial revolution, silicon gave us the digital revolution, and we’re just beginning to see what nanomaterials yield. Updated to reflect the many societal and technological changes in the field since publication of the first edition, Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering, Second Edition, offers an interdisciplinary view that emphasizes the importance of materials to engineering applications and builds the basis needed to select, modify, and create materials to meet specific criteria. The most outstanding feature of this book is the authors’ unique and engaging application-oriented approach. By beginning each chapter with a real-life example, an experiment, or interesting facts, the authors wield an expertly crafted treatment that entertains and motivates as much as informs and educates. The discipline is linked to modern developments, such as semiconductor devices, nanomaterials, and thin films, while working systematically from atomic bonding and analytical methods to crystalline, electronic, mechanical, and magnetic properties as well as ceramics, polymers, corrosion, and phase diagrams. Updates in the Second Edition References to advances in the field, including computational thermodynamics, allowing computation of phase diagrams with great accuracy and new materials Updated applications and technologies, such as electric vehicles and the use of magnetic fields as a processing tool Revised, practical end-of-chapter problems that go beyond traditional plug-and-chug exercises to enhance learning More examples with detailed solutions in each chapter A new chapter highlighting how materials can impact four United Nations Sustainable Development Goals This book is written for undergraduate students and readers interested in introductory materials science and engineering concepts. This concise textbook provides a strong foundation in materials science engineering and its applications. A solutions manual and PowerPoint lecture slides are available for adopting professors.
