MEMS and NEMS: Systems, Devices, and Structures

Product Description
The development of micro- and nano-mechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS) foreshadows momentous changes not only in the technological world, but in virtually every aspect of human life. The future of the field is bright with opportunities, but also riddled with challenges, ranging from further theoretical development through advances in fabrication technologies, to developing high-performance nano- and microscale systems, devices, and structures, including transducers, switches, logic gates, actuators and sensors.MEMS and NEMS: Systems, Devices, and Structures is designed to help you meet those challenges and solve fundamental, experimental, and applied problems. Written from a multi-disciplinary perspective, this book forms the basis for the synthesis, modeling, analysis, simulation, control, prototyping, and fabrication of MEMS and NEMS. The author brings together the various paradigms, methods, and technologies associated with MEMS and NEMS to show how to synthesize, analyze, design, and fabricate them. Focusing on the basics, he illustrates the development of NEMS and MEMS architectures, physical representations, structural synthesis, and optimization.The applications of MEMS and NEMS in areas such as biotechnology, medicine, avionics, transportation, and defense are virtually limitless. This book helps prepare you to take advantage of their inherent opportunities and effectively solve problems related to their configurations, systems integration, and control.

Nano-Optics

Product Description
When a photon meets a nanostructure, many interesting phenomena occur. This book aims at developing the theories and the applications of photon interactions with nanostructures. The contributors were all participants in the well-known Japanese national research project, “Near-Field Nano-Optics”, which ran from 1997 to 2000. The book covers a wide range of disciplines in nano-optics, including the theoretical development of imaging-contrast mechanisms as a result of photon and nanomatter interactions, and discussions on different near-field nanoprobes. Applications of nano-optics to sensing, imaging, analysis, and the fabrication of nanostructures, such as molecules and quantum devices, are also discussed, with a collection of experimental examples.

Self-aligned Side Gates for Nanowires and Nanotubes: The development and application of a new gate architecture for manipulating and defining 1D quantum dots with possibilities for quantum computation

Product Description
The book presents the experimental and theoretical development of a simple to fabricate new control architecture for nanotubes and nanowires. The architectures arrangement offers new possibilities for electrical, magnetic and mechanical control and a new spin detection architecture with applicability to quantum computation is presented. The fabrication procedure allows twin side gate electrodes to be placed within 5nm of a nanotube. The nanotube is suspended between the twin gate electrodes and the suspension creates an air gap between the nanotube and the gates. The air gap can help when applying high fields and should reduce noise, shielding and hysteretic effects. The twin gate structure allows for high field gradients which can be used to modify band gaps, while the proximity and dimensions assist the formation of well-defined tunnel barriers. Ultimately it is hoped that the architecture will aid the creation and control of quantum dots and offer the possibility of extending low dimensional experiments in GaAs to nanotubes and nanowires.
