Inorganic Nanowires - Applications, Properties, and Characterization

Informationen zum Autor M. Meyyappan, Mahendra K. Sunkara Klappentext 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. Zusammenfassung Advances in nanofabrication, characterization tools, and the drive to commercialize nanotechnology products have contributed to the significant increase in research on inorganic nanowires (INWs). This title addresses the growth, characterization, and properties of nanowires. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction. Historical Perspective. Growth Techniques.
