Trends in Computational Nanomechanics: Transcending Length and Time Scales

Product Description

Trends in Computational Nanomechanics reviews recent advances in analytical and computational modeling frameworks to describe the mechanics of materials on scales ranging from the atomistic, through the microstructure or transitional, and up to the continuum. The book presents new approaches in the theory of nanosystems, recent developments in theoretical and computational methods for studying problems in which multiple length and/or time scales must be simultaneously resolved, as well as example applications in nanomechanics.

This title will be a useful tool of reference for professionals, graduates and undergraduates interested in Computational Chemistry and Physics, Materials Science, Nanotechnology.

Microelectronics and Microsystems: Emergent Design Techniques

Product Description
This book contains selected contributions from the theses produced by the attendees of the second Master in Microelectronics and Systems series of workshops held at the University of Catania from May 2000 to January 2001.
The book aims to provide an advanced source of training for graduates in Electrical Engineering and Physics and to give comprehensive instruction in the emerging areas of microelectronics such as:
- CAD
- microprocessor design
- circuits for wireless communications
- very-large-scale integrated circuits for intelligent systems
- electronics for automotive systems
Links from microelectronic theory to the “real world” are provided by the involvement in the project of companies and government research groups connected with the area.

Nanowelded Carbon Nanotubes: From Field-Effect Transistors to Solar Microcells

Product Description

The monograph places emphasis on introducing a novel ultrasonic nanowelding technology of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to metal electrodes and its application for CNT devices. The structure and electronic property of CNTs, synthesis and purification of CNTs, and the fabrication processes of CNT-based devices etc. are covered in the book. Based on this, the carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) and photovoltaic (PV) solar microcells fabricated with the ultrasonic nanowelding techniuqe are discussed. The book will be of interest to graduates, scientists and engineers working on CNTs and related topics from both academic and industrial backgrounds.
