Nanotechnology-Enabled Sensors (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This book is written as a reference for researchers and engineers working in sensor and nanotechnology fields. Presented are existing and new sensing methods, as well as advances in nano-materials and devices for sensing applications. The book aims to provide an interdisciplinary approach, discussing chemical and physical nature of nano materials/structure, state of- the-art of active and passive electronic and optoelectronic nanomaterials and devices for sensing applications. The scope of the book includes: presentation of terminologies and basics of sensors and transducers, a thorough explanation of quantum theory related to nanostructures, growth, fabrication, and characterization of nano-structures such as nanowires, nanotubes, quantum dots, quantum wires, bio materials, and well-controlled nanostructures for sensing applications, as well as discussions of the synthesis and design of such materials in order to gain the understanding of novel functional properties which can be obtained by impurity doping and surface modification

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "`Nanotechnology-Enabled Sensors' is a textbook giving the reader an introduction to both sensing and nanotechnology ... . focus on broadness of topics without confusing the reader with too many details, and the extensive reference lists at the end of all the chapters, make it a highly appreciable introduction to the field of nanotechnologyenabled sensing. This book is an excellent tool both for graduate students (after bachelor level) and scientists wishing to obtain a good, concise overview of both nanotechnology and sensing ... ." (Peter A. Lieberzeit, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 392, 2008) "Nanotechnology-Enabled Sensors provides the reader with a deep understanding of the concepts of nanotechnology

enabled sensors ... . this book provides a good basis for anyone entering or studying the field of nanotechnology enabled sensors. It not provides a good basis for the inexperienced practitioner but also could be very useful to those with some experience. ... Nanotechnology-Enabled Sensors should be very useful for both: researchers as well as final year graduate and post graduate students ... ." (Sergey Y. Yurish, Sensors & Transducers Journal, Vol. 98 (11), 2008) "There is currently no textbook that captures the advances in motion during the last decade. The authors have attempted to fill the void with this book ... . The book is intended for a general audience with a background in university level physics and chemistry. ... The book provides a good introduction to sensors for beginners-the definitions unique to the field, basic theory behind the operation, and transduction platforms are all strong points."
