Book Description
Advances in nanoscale materials processing are taking place at a rapid pace via myriad paths, including lithography, production of nanoparticle assemblies, surface manipulation and many others. Several of the techniques create structures that are three-dimensional or quasi three-dimensional. Even smaller structures intended to be two-dimensional have a 'more' three-dimensional geometry as their two-dimensional feature size and layer thickness become similar. The properties of these denser assemblies are driving different applications in electronics (single-electron devices), optics (photonic crystals and switches) and elsewhere. This 2003 book provides a venue for a productive scientific and technical exchange. The result is a compilation of papers which address fundamental studies, technological advances and novel approaches to developing and processing three-dimensional nanoscale assemblies. Topics include: nanofabrication via lithographic techniques; unconventional fabrication methods of nano-structures; physics, chemistry and modeling of nanostructures; fabrication and properties of 1D nanostructures; fabrication and properties of 3D nanostructures; applications of nanostructures and devices.

Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures
Author: Boris I. Kharisov
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1439853444
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 859
Book Description
As nanotechnology has developed over the last two decades, some nanostructures, such as nanotubes, nanowires, and nanoparticles, have become very popular. However, recent research has led to the discovery of other, less-common nanoforms, which often serve as building blocks for more complex structures. In an effort to organize the field, the Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures presents an informal classification based mainly on the less-common nanostructures. A small nanotechnological encyclopedia, this book: Describes a range of little-known nanostructures Offers a unifying vision of the synthesis of nanostructures and the generalization of rare nanoforms Includes downloadable resources with color versions of more than 100 nanostructures Explores the fabrication of rare nanostructures, including modern physical, chemical, and biological synthesis techniques The Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures discusses a classification system not directly related to the dimensionality and chemical composition of nanostructure-forming compounds or composite. Instead, it is based mainly on the less-common nanostructures. Possessing unusual shapes and high surface areas, these structures are potentially very useful for catalytic, medical, electronic, and many other applications.

Novel Materials and Processes for Advanced CMOS: Volume 745
Author: Mark I. Gardner
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
Progress in MOS integrated-circuit technology is largely driven by the ability to dimensionally scale the constituent components of individual devices and their associated interconnections. Given a set of materials with fixed properties, this scaling is finite and its predicted limits are rapidly approaching. The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors establishes the pace at which this scaling occurs and identifies many of the technological challenges ahead. This volume assembles representatives from the fields of materials science, physics, electrical and chemical engineering to provide an insightful review of current technology and understanding. Specifically, the intent is to discuss materials issues stemming from device scaling to sub-100nm technology nodes. Topics include: high-k characterization; atomic layer deposition; gate metal materials and integration; contacts and ultrashallow junction formation; theory and modeling and crystalline oxides for gate dielectrics.

Organic and Polymeric Materials and Devices
Author: Materials Research Society. Meeting
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
The field of organic semiconductors has seen much development in the past years. Displays based on light-emitting diodes made of small organic molecules as well as polymers, have recently been commercialized. Other applications, such as electronic circuits for tagging, efficient photovoltaic devices and biosensors, have already been demonstrated. This volume brings together a "wish list" of leading researchers in the fields of chemistry, physics and technology of organic devices. Novel device concepts such as charge-generation layers, metal complexes and the use of heterojunctions are presented and should lead to further improvement in the efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes. In the field of organic transistors, major progress is reported on the charge-transport properties of organic semiconductors; mobilities up to 5cm2/Vs are reported for pentacene-based transistors. High mobility n-type materials, which enable the development of ambipolar organic electronic circuits, are also discussed. And new approaches to fully printable displays on substrates, such as textiles and paper, are presented. These may lead the way to new applications of organic optoelectronic devices.

Self-assembled Nanostructured Materials
Author: Yunfeng Lu
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
Nanostructures with critical dimensions less than 100nm endow materials with unique and often superior mechanical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties, which are expected to lead to numerous advanced applications. The current nanotechnology roadmap focuses on exploration and prediction of novel properties of materials at the nanoscale, of efficient synthesis and manufacture of nanoscale materials, and of the integration of nanoscale materials into real-world devices and applications. Self assembly, in which complex building blocks are organized into hierarchical structures via noncovalent interactions, has emerged as one of the most promising techniques for the efficient fabrication of nanostructured materials. This proceedings volume focuses on synthesis of novel nanostructured materials via self assembly, the fundamental understanding of self-assembly processes, the unique properties of nanostructured materials, and their potential applications. The volume is a compendium of current discussions of these topics with special emphasis on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructured materials via self assembly of organic molecules such as surfactants and block copolymers, inorganic and metallic nanoclusters, nanoparticles, nanorods, nanowires, and other building blocks. It also contains reports on the novel properties and applications of nanostructured materials.

Materials Inspired by Biology
Author: James L. Thomas (Ph. D.)
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Continued interest in the field of biologically inspired materials is strongly motivated by the fact that the nanoscale and microscale organization found in biological materials often leads to exceptional macroscopic materials properties. The ability to mimic these structures should lead to new synthetic materials with similarly remarkable behavior in both biomedical and materials arenas. This has led to an enormous amount of research in a variety of materials areas, including those aimed at: 1) unique ceramics or composites for use in biomaterials, magnetic and optical applications; 2) self-assembled biopolymeric systems for use in biomaterials and biosensor applications; and 3) colloidal and amphiphilic systems for application in biomedicine, nanotechnology and biosensors. Accordingly, this volume brings together a broad range of researchers whose interests span the full breadth of biology, and in addition, those who find different inspiration in biology itself. For some, that inspiration is in the creation of new materials that have important biological (especially biomedical) applications. For others, it is the imitation of the behavior of a biological material, molecule or process that is of interest. Finally, with increasing frequency, researchers are drawing inspiration from the synthetic pathways that biology uses, exploiting these pathways, and modifying them chemically or genetically to make entirely novel molecules and materials. Biologically inspired materials is a rapidly evolving arena of materials science research, and the work presented here reflects recent advances and new perspectives in the field. Topics include: tissue engineering and biomaterials; novel biomimeticand bioinspired polymers; biomineralization, colloidal and templated materials; and amphiphilic membranes and surfaces.
