Nanowires - Implementations and Applications
Edited by Abbass Hashim, ISBN 978-953-307-318-7, Hard cover, 538 pages, Publisher: InTech, Published: July 18, 2011 under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 license, in subject Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials
DOI: 10.5772/1025
This potentially unique work offers various approaches on the implementation of nanowires. As it is widely known, nanotechnology presents the control of matter at the nanoscale and nanodimensions within few nanometers, whereas this exclusive phenomenon enables us to determine novel applications. This book presents an overview of recent and current nanowire application and implementation research worldwide. We examine methods of nanowire synthesis, types of materials used, and applications associated with nanowire research. Wide surveys of global activities in nanowire research are presented, as well.
