The current nanotechnology roadmap focuses on exploration and prediction of novel properties of materials at the nanoscale, of efficient synthesis and manufacture of nanoscale materials, and of the integration of nanoscale materials into real-world devices and applications. Self assembly, in which complex building blocks are organized into hierarchical structures via noncovalent interactions, has emerged as one of the most promising techniques for the efficient fabrication of nanostructured materials. This proceedings volume focuses on synthesis of novel nanostructured materials via self assembly, the fundamental understanding of self-assembly processes, the unique properties of nanostructured materials, and their potential applications. The volume is a compendium of current discussions of these topics with special emphasis on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructured materials via self assembly of organic molecules such as surfactants and block copolymers, inorganic and metallic nanoclusters, nanoparticles, nanorods, nanowires, and other building blocks. It also contains reports on the novel properties and applications of nanostructured materials.
Download or read book Three Dimensional Nanoengineered Assemblies Volume 739 written by T. M. Orlando and published by . This book was released on 2003-06-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in nanoscale materials processing are taking place at a rapid pace via myriad paths, including lithography, production of nanoparticle assemblies, surface manipulation and many others. Several of the techniques create structures that are three-dimensional or quasi three-dimensional. Even smaller structures intended to be two-dimensional have a 'more' three-dimensional geometry as their two-dimensional feature size and layer thickness become similar. The properties of these denser assemblies are driving different applications in electronics (single-electron devices), optics (photonic crystals and switches) and elsewhere. This 2003 book provides a venue for a productive scientific and technical exchange. The result is a compilation of papers which address fundamental studies, technological advances and novel approaches to developing and processing three-dimensional nanoscale assemblies. Topics include: nanofabrication via lithographic techniques; unconventional fabrication methods of nano-structures; physics, chemistry and modeling of nanostructures; fabrication and properties of 1D nanostructures; fabrication and properties of 3D nanostructures; applications of nanostructures and devices.
Download or read book Solid State Chemistry of Inorganic Materials IV Volume 755 written by M. Á. Alario-Franco and published by . This book was released on 2003-08-14 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception in the mid-twentieth century, solid-state chemistry has matured within the chemical sciences. In the same way that chemistry itself is considered a central science, solid-state chemistry is central in its many relations to physics, in particular to solid-state physics and also to materials science and engineering. There are few problems in materials science or engineering in which the preparation of the material itself is not a central issue and, more often than not, this will be a solid-state chemical problem. For these reasons, it is not surprising that in the technological development of the last century, solid-state chemistry has grown in importance. It is not only a synthesis science, it is also the science of structures, defects, stoichiometry, and physical chemical properties. Most of these are explored in the book. Topics include: metal-to-insulator transition; porous materials; dielectric materials; nanomaterials; synthesis of materials; films and catalytic materials; CMR materials; thermoelectric materials; dielectrics, catalysts, phosphors, films and properties and synthesis and crystal growth.

The common focus is on artificially engineered nanostructured magnetic systems. The two symposia address new phenomena in magnetoelectronic applications, their preparation, and advanced methodology for characterization. Interest in nanomagnetism has been catalyzed by advances in two fields of research. 1) Advances in materials synthesis of structures whose length scales transcend magnetic length scales and open the possibility for creating materials with new magnetic properties. Such structures include interfaces, superlattices, tunneling devices, nanostructures, and single-molecule magnets. 2) Advances in sample characterization techniques for nano-magnetism which allow detailed exploration of structure-property relationships in nanostructured magnetic systems. The volume highlights current trends in both fields and offers an outlook for further advances and new capabilities.

Download or read book CMOS Front End Materials and Process Technology Volume 765 written by Materials Research Society. Meeting and published by . This book was released on 2003-09-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the future, because fundamental materials and process limits are being approached, continued transistor scaling will not be as straightforward. Future complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistors will require high-permittivity (high-k) gate dielectrics and metal gate electrodes, as well as low-resistance ultrashallow junctions, in order to meet the stringent specifications of the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors. Techniques to improve transconductance and drive current may also be required. Process integration issues must be solved, and reliability must be assured, before any new material or processing technique can be used in IC manufacture. A further complication is that the key challenges will differ according to application. This book reports research results from industry, government labs and academia covering a wide scope of front-end process issues for future CMOS technologies. Topics include: advanced materials and structures; high-k dielectrics; advanced gate stack materials; heterogeneous integration and strained Si technologies; ultrashallow junction technology; strained Si and source/drain technology; and laser annealing and silicide processes.
