Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’atome de carbone a un rôle clé. Il peut former plusieurs types de liaisons chimiques mais également s’auto-associer pour donner un squelette carboné, caractéristiques qui sont à la base de la chimie organique, de la biochimie et de la vie. Science et technique des carbones présente la progression des connaissances dans les solides carbonés à partir des découvertes et inventions successives depuis la préhistoire. Le rôle essentiel joué par l’exploitation des mines de charbon au moment de la première révolution industrielle comme source d’énergie primaire est un point crucial. L’importance du carbone s’est accrue par le développement de la carbochimie pour créer des matériaux artificiels. Leurs utilisations comme matériaux traditionnels de transformation en sidérurgie et comme céramiques particulières, puis technologiques (charbons actifs, fibres de carbone…), sont successivement décrites. La découverte récente des carbones moléculaires, fleurons de la nanotechnologie, met en exergue l’avènement de la technoscience. Finalement, leur impact économique et sociétal est analysé en exposant l’existence de grandes transitions énergétiques associées aux cycles macro-économiques.

Download or read book Photonic Waveguides written by Azzedine Boudrioua and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the principles of non-linear integrated optics. The first objective is to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of integrated optics so that they may be able to develop the theoretical and experimental tools to study and control the linear and non-linear optical properties of waveguides. The potential use of these structures can then be determined in order to realize integrated optical components for light modulation and generation. The theoretical models are accompanied by experimental tools and their setting in order to characterize the studied phenomenon. The passage from theory to practice makes the comprehension of the physical phenomena simple and didactic. The book also gives a presentation of the industrial applications of the integrated optical components. The studied topics range from the theory of waveguides and the linear and non-linear optical characterization techniques to photonic crystals. This last field constitutes a major challenge of photonic technologies of the 21st century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on Photons and Local Probes. The workshop had two predecessors. The first was the NATO ARW on Near Field Optics, held in October 1992 at Arc et Senans and was organized by Daniel Courjon and Dieter Pohl. The other predecessor was a workshop on Photons and Scanning Probe Microscopies held at the University of Konstanz in July 1992. The workshop on Photons and Local Probes was held at the Loechnerhaus on the Reichenau Island at the Lake of Constance, from September 11 to 17, 1994. The Reichenau Island was an important place in Europe in the middle age. Even the tomb of one of the carolingian emperors, Charles the Fat, is located there. At this workshop more than 60 scientists from Europe and the United States met to communicate their latest results in the field of local probes in combination with optical techniques. In eight sessions 31 talks as well as 9 posters were presented. Among those 31 publications were submitted for publication in the NATO proceedings. They were accepted after a strict, but constructive refereeing process.

Download or read book Near Field Optics written by D.W. Pohl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM, also known as NSOM) is a new local probe technique with a resolving power of 10--50 nm. Not being limited by diffraction, near-field optics (NFO) opens new perspectives for optical characterization and the understanding of optical phenomena, in particular in biology, microelectronics and materials science. SNOM, after first demonstrations in '83/'84, has undergone a rapid development in the past two to four years. The increased interest has been largely stimulated by the wealth of optical properties that can be investigated and the growing importance of characterization on the nanometer scale in general. Examples include the use of fluorescence, birefrigence and plasmon effects for applications in particular in biology, microelectronics and materials science, to name just a few. This volume emerged from the first international meeting devoted exclusively to NFO, and comprises a complete survey of the 1992 activities in the field, in particular the variety of instrumental techniques that are currently being explored, the demonstration of the imaging capabilities as well as theoretical interpretations - a highly nontrivial task. The comprehensive collection of papers devoted to these and related subjects make the book a valuable tool for anybody interested in near-field optics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La microélectronique est un monde complexe dans lequel plusieurs sciences comme la physique, l’électronique, l’optique ou la mécanique, contribuent à créer des nano-objets fonctionnels. La chimie est particulièrement impliquée dans de nombreux domaines tels que la synthèse des matériaux, la pureté des fluides, des gaz, des sels, le suivi des réactions chimiques et de leurs équilibres ainsi que la préparation de surfaces optimisées et la gravure sélective de couches spécifiques. Au cours des dernières décennies, la taille des transistors s’est considérablement réduite et la fonctionnalité des circuits électroniques s’est accrue. Cette évolution a conduit à une interpénétration de la chimie et de la microélectronique exposée dans cet ouvrage. Chimie en microélectronique présente les chimies et les séquences utilisées lors des procédés de production de la microélectronique, des nettoyages jusqu’aux gravures des plaquettes de silicium, du rôle et de l’impact de leur niveau de pureté jusqu’aux procédés d’interconnexion des millions de transistors composant un circuit électronique. Afin d’illustrer la convergence avec le domaine de la santé, l’ouvrage expose les nouvelles fonctionnalisations spécifiques, tels que les capteurs biologiques ou les capteurs sur la personne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal Nano 3D Superlattices Unique view on producing metal nano 3D superlattices by differing their morphologies, crystalline structures, chemical, and physical properties After presenting an overview on the various factors involved in producing metal 3D superlattices called supracrystals by differing their morphologies, crystalline structures, chemical, physical, and intrinsic properties, Metal Nano 3D Superlattices: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications reveals the existence of new materials with unexpected properties. Readers will gain insight into the various approaches on the production and on the specific properties of nanocrystals self-assembled in 3D superlattices also called colloidal crystals, supra or super crystals. These properties open up new avenues of research and potentially aiding in major progress. Overall, the work reviews the progress of and gives perspective on assembled nanocrystals, with a concentrated focus on self-assemblies of metal nanocrystals. Sample topics covered by the highly qualified and internationally awarded author include: Syntheses of nanocrystals with low size distribution. The wide variety of self-assembled nanocrystals in 3D superlattices strongly depends on an impressive number of parameters. The intrinsic chemical and physical properties of 3D superlattices of nanocrystals opens the way to the discovery of unexpected properties. This concerns growth processes, coherent breathing of in 3D superlattices, electron transport through thick assemblies, etc. A strong analogy between atomic crystals and 3D superlattices of nanocrystals emerge: incompressible nanocrystals and coating agents act as mechanical springs holding together the nanocrystals and replace respectively, in atomic crystals, atoms and atomic bonds. The intrinsic chemical and physical properties of nanocrystals and their assemblies depend on their crystalline structures called nanocrystallinity. Collective properties due to dipolar interactions between nanocrystals are pointed out. Water soluble suprastructures act as efficient universal nanoheaters. In addition, reconstruction near the cytoplasmic membrane in tumor cells of nanocrystal self-assemblies takes place opening various biomedical applications. The physical (optical, magnetic, electronic, vibrational) properties of isolated nanocrystals remain present in addition to the intrinsic and collective properties. This allows to benefit from the unique properties of nanocrystals while avoiding their potential size-related risks in future applications. Metal Nano 3D Superlattices offers a deep dive into their synthesis, chemical and physical properties, and applications and is an essential resource for inorganic chemists, materials scientists, physical chemists, surface chemists, and medicinal chemists conducting research related to or involved in the practical application of the topics covered within.
