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.

Covers the latest developments in spin resonance in low-dimensional systems Important for nanosystems like quantum dots and quantum wires Includes basic physics and applications Both a reference work for researchers and a study text for graduate students
