Organic and Inorganic Nanostructures (Artech House Mems and Sensors Library)

Providing you with a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of organic and inorganic nanostructures, this cutting-edge resource covers all aspects of this fast-growing area of nanotechnology. The book explores the technology, structure, and electrical and optical properties of organic/inorganic nanostructures, as well as their application in microelectronic, optoelectronic, and nano-electronic devices. This unique reference offers you practical insight into the selection and optimization of thin films and nanostructures for specific applications, the development of novel nano-electronic and sensing devices, and the optical characterization of a wide range of composite materials and nanostructures. You find a thorough overview of the most important research in the field, including critical details on the physics and technology of thin films, nanostructures, and chemical- and bio-sensing. Supported with over 110 illustrations and 80equations, the book presents new, experimental methods of studying nanostructures and nanostructured materials, and offers you a look at the future direction of nanoelectronics.

Nabok (materials and engineering research, Sheffield Hallam U.) has been working in the field of physics and technology of thin organic films, organic-inorganic nanostructures, and chemical and biosensing for some 18 years. He offers an up-to-date text suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics and researchers in the field of nanotechnology. Coverage includes an introductory overview of the field, wet technologies for the formation of organic nanostructures, structural study of organic/inorganic nanocomposites, optical properties of organic/inorganic nanostructures, electron transport in organic/inorganic nanostructures, applications in microelectronics and optoelectronics, and chemical and biosensors.
