Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crystallization is one of the most ancient and interdisciplinary topics of research known to mankind. Crystals can be organic or inorganic and may be produced from melts, liquid solutions, vapors or even in solid state. Notwithstanding its inherently high complexity, the crystallization process is part of our everyday lives, from ice making in our homes to the most state-of-the-art chemical and electronic industry. In this book, our purpose was to present new insights to the reader, as well as crucial and very useful information for researchers working in this field, while simultaneously creating a comprehensive text about crystallization processes which may serve as a starting point for people with different backgrounds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multidisciplinary approach that explores the diverse properties, functions, and applications of nanomaterials Drawing together the many scientific and engineering disciplines underlying the development of nanomaterials, Nanoscale Multifunctional Materials provides a multidisciplinary review of the diverse properties, functions, and applications of nanomaterials. The book examines both nanoparticles, which have larger-scale equivalents, and uniquely assembled nanomaterials, which do not have larger-scale equivalents. Readers will gain a tremendous appreciation of the versatility of nanomaterials as well as an understanding of how the same nanomaterial can have several distinct applications across a broad range of fields and industries. Nanoscale Multifunctional Materials is divided into three sections: Section I, Overview, describes the scientific phenomena underlying the special properties of nanomaterials, making them desirable as novel materials and different from conventional solids. Next, readers will learn about the effect of nanomaterials on contemporary society as well as future trends in nanomaterials production and use. Section II, Processing and Analysis, explores several experimental approaches in nanomaterial fabrication and characterization as well as in theoretical approaches in modeling and simulation. Section III, Applications, offers detailed examples of nanomaterial applications in alternative energy, thermal management, environmental cleanup, water treatment, and biomedicine. Each chapter has been written by one or more leading experts in the science, engineering, and application of nanomaterials. Within each chapter, readers will find a thorough review of the current literature, with references to facilitate further investigation of individual topics. Underscoring the multidisciplinary and multifunctional characteristics of nanomaterials, this book is recommended for students and professionals in science and engineering who need a broad perspective on both the nature and application of nanomaterials. The text also sets the stage for the development of new nanomaterials and new applications.
Download or read book Guiding of electromagnetic energy in subwavelength periodic metal structures written by Stefan Maier and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2003-04-07 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: The ultimate miniaturization of optical devices requires structures that guide electromagnetic energy with a lateral confinement below the diffraction limit of light. In this thesis, the possibility of employing plasmon-polariton excitations in plasmon waveguides consisting of closely spaced metal nanoclusters for this purpose is examined. The feasibility of energy transport with mode sizes below the diffraction limit of visible light over distances of several hundred nanometers is demonstrated. As a macroscopic analogue to plasmon waveguides, the transport of electromagnetic energy in the microwave regime along closely spaced centimeter-scale metal rods is examined. Full-field electrodynamic simulations show that information transport occurs at a group velocity of 0.65c for fabricated structures consisting of copper rods excited at 8 GHz. A variety of passive routing structures and an all-optical modulator are demonstrated. The possibility of guiding electromagnetic energy at visible frequencies with mode sizes below the diffraction limit using plasmon waveguides is analyzed using a point-dipole model and finite-difference time-domain simulations. It is shown that energy transport occurs via near-field coupling between metal nanoparticles, which leads to coherent propagation of energy. For spherical gold particles in air, group velocities up to 0.06c are demonstrated, and a change in particle shape to spheroidal particles shows up to a threefold increase in group velocity. Pulses with transverse polarization are shown to propagate with negative phase velocities antiparallel to the energy flow. Plasmon waveguides consisting of gold and silver nanoparticles were fabricated using electron beam lithography. The key parameters that govern the energy transport are determined for various interparticle spacings and particle chain lengths using far-field measurements of the collective plasmon modes. Spherical gold nanoparticles with a diameter of 50 nm and an interparticle spacing of 75 nm show an energy attenuation of 6 dB/30 nm. This loss can be reduced by one order of magnitude by a geometry change to spheroidal particles. Using the tip of a near-field optical microscope as a local excitation source and fluorescent nanospheres as detectors, experimental evidence for energy transport over a distance of 0.5 μm is presented for plasmon waveguides consisting of silver rods with a 3:1 aspect ratio.
