Inorganic Nanowires: Applications, Properties, and Characterization: Nanomaterials and their Applications
Autor M. Meyyappan, Mahendra K. Sunkaraen Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 dec 2009
Presenting essential information on both popular and emerging varieties, Inorganic Nanowires: Applications, Properties, and Characterization addresses the growth, characterization, and properties of nanowires. Author Meyyappan is the director and senior scientist at Ames Center for Nanotechnology and a renowned leader in nanoscience and technology, and Sunkara is also a major contributor to nanowire literature. Their cutting-edge work is the basis for much of the current understanding in the area of nanowires, and this book offers an in-depth overview of various types of nanowires, including semiconducting, metallic, and oxide varieties. It also includes extensive coverage of applications that use INWs and those with great potential in electronics, optoelectronics, field emission, thermoelectric devices, and sensors.

Descriere
Nanotechnology research activities have exploded in the last five years, due in large part to the potential of nanomaterials in various commercial sectors—and much of that growth has been made possible by the advances in the preparation and application development of nanomaterials such as nanowires. Providing researchers and product developers with essential information on both popular and emerging varieties, this book covers the growth, characterization, and properties of nanowires. It looks at various types, including semiconducting, metallic, oxide nanowires. The authors provide extensive coverage of applications that are using—or are ideal candidates for—nanowires, in fields including electronics, optoelectronics, field emission, thermoelectric devices, solar cells, and sensors.
