Nanomaterials and Devices: Processing and Applications (PDF)

The focus of this special collection was the applied aspects of nano-materials; with almost all of the papers presented discussing experimental research.From among the many papers submitted, just 49 were selected for publication in this special issue, after peer review by two independent experts These papers cover the topics of: Electrical transport in nano-materials, Optical properties of nano-materials, Magnetic properties of nano-oxide/metallic powders and thin films, Nano-materials with dielectric and ferroelectric properties, Severe plastic deformation to achieve ultra-fine grains, Nano-materials for energy storage applications, Bulk nano-crystalline materials from amorphous ones, Thermal treatment of nano-scale materials, Intermetallic nano-materials by mechanical alloying, Corrosion behaviour of nano-materials, Single- and double-walled carbon nano-tubes, Nano-composites, Quantum dots, Nano-devices and sensors and Biocompatible and biodegradable nano-materials.The book thus fully reflects the current trends in applied nano-materials technology and will be a very useful reference source for any serious student.This volume collects 49 selected, peer-reviewed papers from the eponymous December 2008 conference jointly organized by the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee's Centre of Nanotechnology and Department of Metallurgical and Material Engineering. The papers address the following topics: electrical transport in nanomaterials, optical properties of nanomaterials, magnetic properties of nano-oxide/metallic powders and thin film, nanomaterials with dielectric and ferroelectric properties, severe plastic deformation to achieve ultra fine grains, nanomaterials for energy storage applications, bulk nanocrystaline materials from amorphous materials, thermal treatment of nanoscale materials, intermetallic nanomaterials by mechanical alloying, corrosion behavior of nanomaterials, single and double walled carbon nanotubes, nanocomposites, quantum dots, nano-devices and sensors, and biocompatible and biodegradable nanomaterials.
