Inorganic Nanowires: Applications, Properties, and Characterization (Nanomaterials and Their Applications)

Nanotechnology production has exploded in the last five years, due in no small part to its rapidly increasing impact in the area of commercial electronics, much of that made possible by the development of nanowires. Providing researchers and product developers with essential information on both popular and emerging varieties, this workcovers their growth, characterization, and properties. It looks at various types, including semiconducting, metallic, oxide, and includes extensive coverage of applications that are using or are ideal candidates for nanowires in electronics, optoelectronics, field emission, thermoelectric devices, and sensors.Meyyappan, M. is the author of 'Inorganic Nanowires: Applications, Properties, and Characterization (Nanomaterials and Their Applications)', published 2009 under ISBN 9781420067828 and ISBN 1420067826.
