Carbon Nanotube ElectronicsThis book provides a complete overview of the field of carbon nanotube
electronics. It covers materials and physical properties, synthesis and
fabrication processes, devices and circuits, modeling, and finally
novel applications of nanotube-based electronics. The book introduces
fundamental device physics and circuit concepts of 1-D electronics
while at the same time provides specific examples of the
state-of-the-art nanotube devices and novel technological applications,
including chemical and biological sensors, opto-electronics, and
flexible macro-electronics. This book provides a complete guide to the
field of nanotube electronics.
Possible Ordered States in Graphene Systems: Electronic Structure, Pseudospin Magnetism and Exciton CondensationIn this work, the authors discuss recent
theoretical work in which we have proposed new types of ordered
electronic states in graphene systems, including pseudospin magnets
which show spontaneous charge transfer between two layers, and
excitonic superfluids which could have remarkably high transition
temperatures. This work concludes with some speculations on the
possibility of radically new types of electronic devices in these
systems whose operation is based on collective electronic behavior.
Carbon NanomaterialsFeaturing the contributions of exceptional leaders in the field, Carbon Nanomaterials brings together the most up-to-date research findings on the special properties, practical synthesis, and real applications for all types of carbon-related nanomaterials. The authors emphasize the importance of nanotexture and surface chemistry in various modification methods used to customize properties for a wide range of applications. They also draw attention to challenges that must be addressed before they are fully integrated into the next generation of science and engineering applications. The final chapter is dedicated to examining the timely application of carbon nanotubes as a composite material for solar cells and electrical hydrogen storage. Carbon Nanomaterials provides a broad survey of numerous carbon-based nanomaterials in the context of commercially available nanomaterials as well as emerging technologies and future applications in the fields of molecular electronics, sensoring, nano- and micro electromechanic devices, field-emission displays, energy storage, and composite materials.
Physics and Chemistry of Graphene: Graphene to NanographeneThis book explores the structure as well as the electronic and magnetic
properties of nanographene. Organic chemistry issues on non-Kekule
aromatic molecules, which are related to the edge-state of
nanographene, are also discussed.
Carbon Nanotubes: Quantum Cylinders of Graphene, Volume 3This volume of Carbon Nanotubes is devoted to mostly to nanotubes, unique synthetic nanoscale quantum systems whose physical properties are often singular (i.e. record-setting). Nanotubes can be formed from a myriad of atomic or molecular species, the only requirement apparently being that the host material or wall fabric be configurable as a layered or sheet-like structure. Nanotubes with sp2-bonded atoms such as carbon, or boron together with nitrogen, are the champions of extreme mechanical strength, electrical response (either highly conducting or highly insulating), and thermal conductance. Carbon nanotubes can be easily produced by a variety of synthesis techniques, and for this reason they are the most studied nanotubes, both experimentally and theoretically. Boron nitride nanotubes are much more difficult to produce and only limited experimental characterization data exist. Indeed, for boron nitride nanotubes, theory is well ahead of experiment. For these reasons this volume deals largely with carbon nanotubes. Conceptually, the "building block" for a carbon nanotube is a single sheet of graphite, called graphene. Recently, it has become possible to experimentally isolate such single sheets (either on a substrate or suspended). This capability has in turn fueled many new theoretical and experimental studies of graphene itself. It is therefore fitting that this volume contains also a chapter devoted to graphene.
Graphene and Graphite MaterialsThis book presents the latest research on Graphene from around the world, and will be released in September 2009.
