Yet few if any books provide the necessary comprehensive and coherent account of this important evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresenting essential information on both popular and emerging varieties, \u003cstrong\u003eInorganic Nanowires: Applications, Properties, and Characterization\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis invaluable reference:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eTraces the evolution of nanotechnology and classifies nanomaterials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes nanowires and their potential applications to illustrate connectivity and continuity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses growth techniques, at both laboratory and commercial scales\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eEvaluates the most important aspects of classical thermodynamics associated with the nucleation and growth of nanowires\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetails the development of silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, and other materials in the form of nanowires used in electronics applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the physical, electronic and other properties of nanowires\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe explosion of nanotechnology research activities for various applications is due in large part to the advances in the growth of nanowires. Continued development of novel nanostructured materials is essential to the success of so many economic sectors, ranging from computing and communications to transportation and medicine. This volume discusses how and why nanowires are ideal candidates to replace bulk and thin film materials. It covers the principles behind device operation and then adds a detailed assessment of nanowire fabrication, performance results, and future prospects and challenges, making this book a valuable resource for scientists and engineers in just about any field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCo-author Meyya Meyyappan will receive the Pioneer Award in Nanotechnology from the IEEE Nanotechnology Council at the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ieeenano2011.org\/\"\u003eIEEE Nano Conference\u003c\/a\u003e in Portland, Oregon in August, 2011\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45565289824494,"sku":"9781420067828","price":176.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781420067828.jpg?v=1720677461","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/inorganic-nanowires-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
