Nanowires - Synthesis, Properties, Assembly and Applications: Volume 1144

by Yi Cui (Editor), Lincoln Lauhon (Editor), A. Alec Talin (Editor), E. P. A. M. Bakkers (Editor)

Overview

Given the interest, fascination, and rapid development in the field of nanowires, this book offers a well-timed overview of critical issues related to nanowires, as well as recent progress in synthesis, structure, properties and devices. Topics include: synthesis, with control over composition, size, shape, position, geometry, doping, alloying, and heterostructures; properties - mechanical, electronic, optical, thermal, magnetic, ionic, phase transformational, and chemical; assembly and integration - methods for organizing nanowires, multiple length scale pattern formation, heterogeneous integration, and assembly architecture; and applications - functional devices and systems for electronics, photonics, sensors, and renewable energy.
