Nanowires - Synthesis, Properties, Assembly and Applications: Volume 1144Author(s): Yi Cui, Lincoln Lauhon, A. Alec Talin, E. P. A. M. Bakkers\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Materials Research Society, United States\nImprint: Materials Research Society\nISBN-13: 9781605111162, 978-1605111162\nSynopsis\nGiven the interest, fascination, and rapid development in the field of nanowires, this book offers a well-timed overview of critical issues related to nanowires, as well as recent progress in synthesis, structure, properties and devices. Topics include: synthesis, with control over composition, size, shape, position, geometry, doping, alloying, and heterostructures; properties - mechanical, electronic, optical, thermal, magnetic, ionic, phase transformational, and chemical; assembly and integration - methods for organizing nanowires, multiple length scale pattern formation, heterogeneous integration, and assembly architecture; and applications - functional devices and systems for electr.
