✦ Synopsis

This book is devoted to the discussion of the state-of-the-art of spin resonance in low dimensional structures, such as two-dimensional electron systems, quantum wires, and quantum dots. World leading scientists in the field report on recent advances and discuss open issues and perspectives. Frontiers and opportunities for spin resonance techniques, with particular emphasis on fundamental physics, nanoelectronics, spintronics and quantum information processing, are discussed.
