Nanostructured Semiconductors: From Basic Research to Applications

by Petra Granitzer (Editor), Klemens Rumpf (Editor)

Overview

This book focuses on nanostructured semiconductors, their fabrication, and their application in fields such as optics, acoustics, and biomedicine. It presents recent developments in nanostructured and hybrid materials and also contains a collection of principles and approaches related to nano-size semiconductors. The text summarizes the recent work by renowned scientists, emphasizing the synthesis by self-assembly or prestructuring and characterization methods of such nanosize materials and also discusses the potential applications of nanostructured semiconductors and hybrid systems. It also gives adequate coverage to the novel properties of nanostructured and low-dimensional materials.
