An invaluable introduction to nanomaterials and their
applications
Offering the unique approach of applying traditional physics
concepts to explain new phenomena, Introduction to Nanomaterials
and Devices provides readers with a solid foundation on the subject
of quantum mechanics and introduces the basic concepts of
nanomaterials and the devices fabricated from them. Discussion
begins with the basis for understanding the basic properties of
semiconductors and gradually evolves to cover quantum
structures–including single, multiple, and quantum
wells–and the properties of nanomaterial systems, such as
quantum wires and dots.
Written by a renowned specialist in the field, this book
features:
* An introduction to the growth of bulk semiconductors,
semiconductor thin films, and semiconductor nanomaterials
* Information on the application of quantum mechanics to
nanomaterial structures and quantum transport
* Extensive coverage of Maxwell-Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac, and
Bose-Einstein stastistics
* An in-depth look at optical, electrical, and transport
properties
* 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 essential
groundwork for understanding the behavior and growth of
nanomaterials and is a valuable resource for students and
practitioners in a field full of possibilities for innovation and
invention.
