Overview

This ground-breaking book explains carbon nanotube devices - bridging the experimental and theoretical for researchers, engineers and graduate students. It discusses the essential aspects for developing the technology, with ample coverage of the physics that govern the working principles of nanotubes - applications in electronics, nanoelectromechanical systems, field emission, optoelectronics and sensing. Other topics include: electrical contacts; p-n junctions; transistors; transport; oscillators; rotational actuators; electron-phonon scattering; photoconductivity; and light emission. From the book jacket: In the field of nanotube devices ... concepts that describe the properties of conventional devices do not apply. Carbon nanotube devices behave much differently from those using traditional materials, and offer entirely new functionality. This book - designed for researchers, engineers and graduate students alike - bridges the experimental and theoretical aspects of carbon nanotube devices. It emphasizes and explains the underlying physics that govern their working principles, including applications in electronics, nanoelectromechanical systems, field emission, optoelectronics and sensing. Other topics include: electrical contacts, p-n junctions, transistors, ballistic transport, field emission, oscillators, rotational actuators, electron-phonon scattering, photoconductivity, and light emission. Many of the aspects discussed here differ significantly from those learned in books or traditional materials, and are essential for the future development of carbon nanotube technology.
