Compound Semiconductors 2004: Compound Semiconductors for Quantum Science and Nanostructures

Product Description
Compound Semiconductors 2004 was the 31st Symposium in this distinguished international series, held at Hoam Convention Center of Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea from September 12 to September 16, 2004. It attracted over 180 submissions from leading scientists in academic and industrial research institutions, and remains a major forum for the compound semiconductor research community since the first one held in 1966 at Edinburgh, UK under the name of ‘International Symposium on Gallium Arsenide and related Compounds’.
These proceedings provide an international perspective on the latest research and an overview of recent, important developments in III-V compounds, II-VI compounds and IV-IV compounds. In the total of 106 papers, notable progress was reported in the development of zinc oxide and spintronics. Steady advances were seen in traditional topics such as III-V based electronic and optoelectronic devices, growth and processing, and characterization. Novel research trends were observed in quantum structures, such as quantum wires and dots, which are promising for future developments in nanotechnology. As the primary forum for research into these materials and their device applications the book is an essential reference for researchers working on compound semiconductors in semiconductor physics, device physics, materials science, chemistry and electronic and electrical engineering.

Intelligent Macromolecules for Smart Devices: From Materials Synthesis to Device Applications

Product Description
The age of nanotechnology is upon us. Engineering at the molecular level is no longer a computer-generated curiosity and is beginning to affect the lives of everyone. Molecules which can respond to their environment and the smart machines we can build with them are and will continue to be a vital part of this 21st-century revolution. Liming Dai presents the latest work on many newly-discovered intelligent macromolecular systems and reviews their uses in nano-devices. Intelligent Macromolecules for Smart Devices features: § An accessible assessment of the properties and materials chemistry of all the major classes of intelligent macromolecules from optoelectronic biomacromolecules to dendrimers, artificial opals and carbon nanotubes. § In-depth analysis of various smart devices including a critique of the suitability of different molecules for building each type of device. § A concise compilation of the practical applications of intelligent macromolecules including sensors and actuators, polymer batteries, carbon-nanotube supercapacitors, novel lasing species and photovoltaic cells. As an exposition of cutting-edge research against a backdrop of comprehensive review, Intelligent Macromolecules for Smart Devices will be an essential addition to the bookshelf of academic and industrial researchers in nanotechnology. Graduate and senior undergraduate students looking to make their mark in this field of the future will also find it most instructive.

Nanotube Based Thin Films: Fabrications and Electronics Device Applications

Product Description
In this book, various solution based depositionmethods for carbon nanotube based thin films arediscussed. Then extensive studies about the transportproperties are presented, including density,temperature, voltage, and frequency dependence. Thedensity study of the conductivity of rare networksreveals two-dimensional percolation behavior. Thetemperature dependent reveals that tunneling betweenthe SWNT-SWNT junctions is the governing mechanismfor carriers transport. Frequency dependent (2 Hz -10GHz) conductivity shows universal power law behaviorfor systems with randomly distributed barriers. Twomajor applications of nanotube based thin films areincluded: thin film transistors using semiconductorbehavior of percolating nanotube network andtranspare electrode of 10-100 nm thick nanotubefilms. Device applications of the transparent SWNTelectrodes: as anodes for organic solar cells,displays, as stretchable electrodes for actuator, andas microwave shielding materials. In the end, lightsensitive nanotube hybrids and nanotube composite arediscussed in solar cells and bio-fuels.
