points to have a benchmark for comparison in order to evaluate the accuracy of
the TB results.
The objective of this chapter was to provide an introduction to the world of
nanodevices. We briefly reviewed the motivations behind making devices at the
small scale, the process of how they are made, some of their applications, and
some of the common methods of studying and simulating them. Entering any level
of detail in those subjects is obviously beyond the scope of this single chapter, but
the author hopes that the chapter shows the big picture of what to expect in this
area and how to pursue a given direction of interest.
