Electron Transport in Nanostructures and Mesoscopic Devices

Product Description
This book introduces researchers and students to the physical principles which govern the operation of solid-state devices whose overall length is smaller than the electron mean free path. In quantum systems such as these, electron wave behavior prevails, and transport properties must be assessed by calculating transmission amplitudes rather than microscopic conductivity. Emphasis is placed on detailing the physical laws that apply under these circumstances, and on giving a clear account of the most important phenomena. The coverage is comprehensive, with mathematics and theoretical material systematically kept at the most accessible level. The various physical effects are clearly differentiated, ranging from transmission formalism to the Coulomb blockade effect and current noise fluctuations. Practical exercises and solutions have also been included to facilitate the reader’s understanding.

Magnetic Properties and Applications of Ferromagnetic Microwires With Amorpheous and Nanocrystalline Structure

Product Description
Recent advances in technology involving magnetic materials require development of novel advanced magnetic materials with improved magnetic and magneto-transport properties. Additionally the tendency on miniaturisation of the modern magnetic sensors and devices stimulates development of such magnetic materials with reduced dimensionality. Certain progress has been recently achieved in fabrication of novel magnetic nano-materials (thin films, nanowires, nano-dots…), but at the same time quite sophisticated technology should be used but in many occasions the magnetic properties of these materials are rather poorer than such properties of bulk magnetic materials (amorphous ribbons, wires, sintered materials…) and the fabrication process is much more expansive and complex. On the other hand certain industrial sectors, like magnetic sensors, microelectronics, security etc, need cheap materials with reduced dimensionality but still with high magnetic properties (particularly enhanced magnetic softness). Therefore magnetic materials with outstanding magnetic characteristics and reduced dimensionality recently gained much attention. The aim of this book is to present the most relevant aspects concerning the fabrication process following by sections devoted to present significant results on the demagnetisation process, compositional dependence and processing of glass-coated mirocwires with amorphous, nanocrystalline and granular character in order to design their magnetic properties.

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.

Organic Nanostructures

Product Description
In this Enrico Fermi School, the first one dedicated to advanced organic materials, the main research results and open problems in science and technology of organic nanostructures have been discussed; in particular, growth techniques, electronic and optical properties, device applications. The necessary background material has been covered and interdisciplinary aspects have been emphasized with the aim of a unified approach to the basic physical phenomena bridging the gap between standard graduate courses and the state of the art in the field. The lecturers have provided authoritative and comprehensive tutorial reviews of the main issues involved in the science and technology of organic materials and their nanostructures. In particular, the following topics have been specifically addressed: charge carrier mobility and transport properties, electrical conductivity of conjugated polymers, charge transfer states in organics, photorefractivity in organics, energy transfer processes in organics, photophysics and fast spectroscopy, technology of polymer electronics and light emitting devices.
