ISBN: 9783540210627 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Solar sailing - using the sun as a propellant - offers the possibility of low-cost long-distance missions that are impossible with conventional spacecraft. This first comprehensive book on this propulsion method provides a detailed account of solar sailing, at a high technical level, but in a way accessible to the scientifically informed layperson. Solar sail orbital dynamics and solar radiation pressure form the foundations of the book, but the engineering design of solar sails is also considered, along with potential mission applications. Solar sailing - using the sun as a propellant - offers the possibility of low-cost long-distance missions that are impossible with conventional spa... |

Electromigration
ISBN: 9783639088137 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Electromigration is a microscopic phenomenon involving electric field-induced diffusion, which is very relevant to damage in interconnections. A common method for monitoring interconnection degradation is through electrical resistance measurements, which requires direct electrical contact. It is desirable to develop non-contact methods to monitor electromigration damage formation. In this thesis, we propose a novel Optical Microscopy Imaging Method (OMIM), and we provide a theoretical description and experimental results. OMIM not only provides a new method for studying electromigration, but...

Carbon Nanotube Transistors, Sensors, and Beyond
ISBN: 9783639088915 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Carbon nanotubes are tiny hollow cylinders, made from a single graphene sheet, that possess many amazing properties. Another reason why nanotubes have generated intense research activities from scientists of various disciplines is that they represent a new class of materials for the study of one-dimensional physics. In this book we investigate the electrical transport of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes and their potential applications as biological sensors. In the first part of the book, electron-phonon scatterings are studied both experimentally and theoretically, clarifying...

Learning and Instructional Technologies for the 21st Century: Visions of the Future
ISBN: 9780387096667 / Angielski / Twarda / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Learning and Instructional Technologies for the 21st Century gathers research which identify models and approaches to improve learning through the inclusion of technology. These papers, from leading researchers and thinkers in instructional technology, begin by refuting the idea that education can be improved through more or better technology. Instead, the contributors emphasize specific, research-based ideas, which re-evaluate learning, reorganize schools, redirect technology, and provide instruction. Acknowledging the critical role of technology, these contributions...

Wildfire Modeling
ISBN: 9783639083514 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wildfires are complex phenomenon. To understand their spread mechanisms, physics based wildfire models are developed here. Discontinuous fire spread, i.e., spotting, is studied through a review of historical wind-driven and post-earthquake fires. Transport of various shapes of combusting firebrands is modeled using momentum balance on the firebrand. Firebrand trajectories are simulated in velocity and thermal fields generated by the FIRETEC wildfire model. Contiguous fire spread is modeled based on energy conservation and detailed heat transfer mechanisms. Predictions of contiguous fire...

Electron Spins in Lateral Quantum Dots
ISBN: 9783639097382 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This thesis describes a series of experiments in order to understand and control the behavior of the spin and charge degree of freedom of single electrons, confined in semiconductor lateral quantum dots. This research work is motivated by the prospects of using the electron spin, rather than its charge, as a quantum bit (qubit), the basic building block of a quantum computer. In this thesis, a number of important steps towards the use of electron spins as qubits are reported: the fabrication process of lateral quantum dots, the isolation of single electrons in (double) quantum dots, energy...

Properties and Applications of Carbon Nanotube Films
ISBN: 9783639093001 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since 1950, the adage has been "silicon for electronics, carbon for life." However, the discovery in 1993 of the single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT), sparked interest in everyone from scientists to VCs over the electric potential of SWNTs, particularly for use in flexible or printable electronics. This book provides an overview of the fabrication, properties, and applications of thin films (networks) of SWNTs. Various aqueous phase dispersion and coating methods on rigid and flexible substrates will be explored. Fundamental transport studies on films of various densities, as a function of...
