Description
Book SynopsisThis book provides several examples of how diverse nanofabrication techniques are being used by researchers across the world to fabricate useful materials and devices. A number of research groups present their cutting-edge work on fabricating a variety of nanoscale structures such as split rings, wires, gaps, trenches and holes. The innovative techniques described in this book will be of interest to all who are engaged in research and development of nanofabrication technologies. The book mainly covers application areas in electronics and photonics but the techniques are general enough to be applied to other areas.
Trade Review"This fine book brings together a very interesting and promising range of techniques found in some of the most advanced labs around the world that are pushing the boundaries of what is possible via the growth and fabrication of nanostructures for a variety of applications. Many unique methods and approaches summarized in this book have immense potential to precisely tailor the geometry and composition of materials at the nanoscale, enabling them to interact with outside stimuli in ways that were neither possible nor thinkable a decade ago. The showcase gallery is a gem on its own right and is a real eye-popper."
