Sudhölter ED - Abbass Hashim Y1 - 2011-07-18 PY - 2011 T1 - Organic Surface Modification of Silicon Nanowire-Based Sensor Devices N2 - 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.
