Synopsis

Nano-scale materials have unique electronic, optical, and chemical properties that make them attractive for a new generation of devices. In the second edition of Modeling, Characterization, and Production of Nanomaterials: Electronics, Photonics, and Energy Applications, leading experts review the latest advances in research in the understanding, prediction, and methods of production of current and emerging nanomaterials for key applications.

The chapters in the first half of the book cover applications of different modeling techniques, such as Green’s function-based multiscale modeling and density functional theory, to simulate nanomaterials and their structures, properties, and devices. The chapters in the second half describe the characterization of nanomaterials using advanced material characterization techniques, such as high-resolution electron microscopy, near-field scanning microwave microscopy, confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy, thermal analysis of nanoparticles, and applications of nanomaterials in areas such as electronics, solar energy, catalysis, and sensing.

The second edition includes emerging relevant nanomaterials, applications, and updated modeling and characterization techniques and new understanding of nanomaterials.

• Covers the close connection between modeling and experimental methods for studying a wide range of nanomaterials and nanostructures
• Focuses on practical applications and industry needs through a solid outlining of the theoretical background
• Includes emerging nanomaterials and their applications in spintronics and sensing

From the Back Cover

Nano-scale materials have unique electronic, optical, and chemical properties which make them attractive for a new generation of devices. In the second edition of Modeling, Characterization, and Production of Nanomaterials: Electronics, Photonics and Energy Applications, leading experts review the latest advances in research in the understanding, prediction, and methods of current and emerging nanomaterials for key applications.

Part one covers modeling techniques incorporating quantum mechanical effects to simulate nanomaterials and their structures and properties and devices, such as multiscale modeling and density functional theory. Part two describes the characterization of nanomaterials using diffraction techniques and Raman spectroscopy. Part three explores nanofabrication and nanodevices in energy, photonics and optoelectronics applications along with emerging relevant materials systems.

The second edition includes emerging relevant nanomaterials, applications and updated understanding of nanomaterials interactions.
