Introduction to Nanomaterials and Devices
von Omar ManasrehAn invaluable introduction to nanomaterials and theirapplications
Offering the unique approach of applying traditional physicsconcepts to explain new phenomena, Introduction to Nanomaterialsand Devices provides readers with a solid foundation on the subjectof quantum mechanics and introduces the basic concepts ofnanomaterials and the devices fabricated from them. Discussionbegins with the basis for understanding the basic properties ofsemiconductors and gradually evolves to cover quantumstructures--including single, multiple, and quantumwells--and the properties of nanomaterial systems, such asquantum wires and dots.
Written by a renowned specialist in the field, this bookfeatures:
* An introduction to the growth of bulk semiconductors, semiconductor thin films, and semiconductor nanomaterials
* Information on the application of quantum mechanics tonanomaterial structures and quantum transport
* Extensive coverage of Maxwell-Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac, andBose-Einstein stastistics
* An in-depth look at optical, electrical, and transportproperties
* Coverage of electronic devices and optoelectronic devices
* Calculations of the energy levels in periodic potentials, quantum wells, and quantum dots
Introduction to Nanomaterials and Devices provides essentialgroundwork for understanding the behavior and growth ofnanomaterials and is a valuable resource for students andpractitioners in a field full of possibilities for innovation andinvention.
