Processing and Properties of Structural Nanomaterials

Processing and Properties of Structural Nanomaterials

Nanomaterials are in their infancy of development, yet have already shown many advantages in processing and properties over their coarse-grained counterparts. This timely book will be composed of invited and contributed papers that focus on recent advances in structural nanomaterials that have grain and/or particle sizes below 100nm. Topics include:

• Synthesis/processing
• Characterization of structure and mechanical properties
• Processing/structure/property relationships
• Theory
• Modeling
• Performance
• Applications

This book will find an audience with universities, national laboratories, industries, and consulting companies.

Point-Contact Spectroscopy

The physical principles of spectroscopy of quasi-particle excitations in metals at low temperatures by means of point contacts are presented. The point contact constitutes a tiny metallic bridge connecting bulk electrodes. The spectroscopic regime corresponding to the contact dimensions range from only a few to tens of nanometers. For contacts larger than the inelastic electron free mean path the thermal regime holds. Along with most thoroughly studied phono excitations, the interaction of electrons with other quasiparticles (magnons, crystal-field electron excitations, paramagnetic impurities, two-level systems, etc), are reviewed. Various experimental techniques for point contact production are described, and many examples of point -contact spectra are presented for pure metals, alloys and compounds, as well as for semimetals and semiconductors, heavy fermion systems, Kond-lattices, mixed valence compounds and so forth. Superconducting point contacts are considered in respect to Andreev reflection and Josephson effects. Special attention is paid to contact conductance fluctuation, are regarded as well as new trends of research are outlined.

Nanoengineering of Structural, Functional and Smart Materials

Product Description
In chapters contributed by 24 university & government laboratories, Nanoengineering of Structural, Functional, and Smart Materials combines wide-ranging research aimed at the development of multifunctional materials that are strong, lightweight, and versatile. This book explores promising and diverse approaches to the design of nanoscale materials and presents concepts that integrate mechanical, electrical, electrochemical, polarization, optical, thermal, and biomimetic functions with nanoscale materials to support the development of polymer composites, thin films, fibers, pultruded materials, and smart materials having a superior combination of properties.

Interrelating the many different aspects of nanoscience vital to developing new material systems, this book is organized into three parts that cover the major areas of focus: synthesis, manufacturing techniques, and modeling. The book defines functional materials and discusses techniques designed to improve material properties, durability, multifunctionality, and adaptability. It also examines sensors and actuators fabricated from nanostructured microdevices for structural health and performance monitoring. Shifting its focus to nanomechanics and the modeling of nanoscale particles, the book discusses vibration properties, thin films, and pulse laser deposition, low cost manufacturing of ceramic composites, hybrid nanocomposites, and various types of nanotubes. The book combines atomistic modeling with molecular dynamics simulations to clarify design considerations and discusses coupling between atomistic models and classical continuum mechanics models. The authors also advocate the current and potential development of commercial applications, such as nanocoatings to create “artificial skin” and functionalized nanotubes used to enhance the properties of composite materials.

Nanoengineering of Structural, Functional, and Smart Materials provides an overview of current trends and cutting-edge research in the area of nanoengineered materials. It offers new directions for the production of functionally tailored materials that can self-monitor their health and provide enduring performance.

Structural and Optical Properties of Porous Silicon Nanostructures

Product Description
This volume provides a comprehensive review of the experimental and theoretical aspects of the optical and transport properties of nanoporous silicon, their relation to the microscopic structure of nanocrystals, and the application of porous silicon in optical devices. As porous silicon is an ideal substance for the modelling of optical processes in nanocrystalline materials, this volume also is an excellent reference source on the more general subject of the structural and optical properties of nanocrystalline semiconductors.
