Inhaltsangabe

The book allows the reader to have a basic understanding of the structure and properties of nanoscale materials routinely used in nanotechnology-based research and industries. To add, the book describes the operation of nanoscale transistors and the processes used to fabricate the devices. Additionally, it presents research involving the use of carbon nanotubes, graphene, and molecules to create non-silicon based electronic devices. It aims to provide an understanding of the operation of the most frequently used fabrication and characterization procedures, such as scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, etch, e-beam lithography, and photolithography.

• Provides explanations of the common techniques used in nanofabrication.
• Focuses on nanomaterials that are almost exclusively used in academic research and incorporated in consumer materials, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, metal nanoparticles, quantum dots, and conductive polymers.
• Each chapter begins with a list of key objectives describing major content covered.
• Includes end-of-chapter questions to reinforce chapter content.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Wesley C. Sanders is currently an assistant professor at Salt Lake Community College. He teaches courses in nanotechnology, materials science, chemistry, and microscopy. While serving as an assistant professor, he has published articles in the Journal of Chemical Education describing undergraduate labs for use in introductory, nanotechnology courses. He earned a BSEd. in science education from Western Carolina University (1999). Later, he earned a M.S. in chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (2005) and a Ph.D. in chemistry from Virginia Tech (2008). His initial experiences with nanotechnology occurred while studying self-assembled monolayers on gold with a scanning electrochemical microscope as a doctoral student at Virginia Tech. After receiving his Ph.D., he examined bacterial nanofilaments with an atomic force microscope while working as a postdoctoral researcher at the U.S. Naval Research Lab in Washington D.C.
