Opis

Molecular- and Nano-Tubessummarizes recent advancements in the synthesis, fabrication and applications of tubular structures.An interdisciplinary overview of innovative science focused ontubular structures is provided. The reader is offeredan overview of the different fields that molecular and nano tubes appear in, in order tolearn the fundamental basics as well as the applications of these materials.This book also:

• Showshow nanotechnology creates novel materials by crossing the barriers between biology and material science, electronics and optics, medicine and more
• Demonstratesthat tubes are a fundamentalelement in nature and used in disparate applications such as ion channelsand carbon nanotubes

Molecular- and Nano-Tubes is an ideal volume for researchers and engineers working in materials science and nanotechnology.

O autorze

Kornelius Nielsch is Professor for Experimental Physics at the Institute of Applied Physics of the University Hamburg, Germany, and coordinator of the German Priority Program of Thermoelectric Nanostructures, funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG). After his PhD obtained for a doctoral thesis carried out at Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle, Germany, he was postdoctoral associate at MIT, USA. From October 2003 to December 2008 he was leader of the a nanotechnology research group funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) on Multifunctional Nanowires and Nanotubes at the Max Planck Institute in Halle. He received the State Research Prize for Basic Research from the State of Saxony-Anhalt in 2006. In the same year he was appointed Full Professor for Experimental Physics in Hamburg.
