Nanowires: Complete Handbook - Hardcover

by Maya Sheikh (Author), Zahra Ahamad (Author)

The Nanowires Handbook offers an in-depth exploration of nanowires, nanostructures with dimensions on the order of nanometers. This comprehensive guide covers various aspects, including synthesis techniques such as vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth, solution-phase methods, and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). It delves into the structural, electrical, optical, and mechanical properties of nanowires, as well as their unique characteristics arising from quantum confinement effects and high aspect ratios.
